Upcoming Events & Additional Announcements
Summer Programming for Children
Over the summer children, as always, are welcome in service or in Childcare on the second floor with Ms. Carol and Ms. Sundae; this room now has air conditioning! Children's Worship will restart when the church year begins in September. 

Calling all musicians!
As we begin summer services on June 23, we are asking YOU to share your musical gifts with our community. Musicians will have the opportunity to perform, whether one piece, an entire service, or anything in between! All voices and instruments are welcome, and piano accompaniment can be provided if needed. Please contact our Music Director, Brock Tjosvold, at music@uuroc.org for more information.

Library open during the summer!
The Church Library and Bookstore will be open on alternate Sundays during the summer schedule - June 30, July 14, July 28, August 11 and August 25. 

Call for Gardeners!
An ongoing commitment is not required. We will need waterers, weeders, and harvesters. Please contact Sarah Singal if you can assist with any of these actions at garden@uuroc.org .

NYSCU Annual Meeting | October 25 & 26
It’s a BIG Deal… so Save the Date! Our church will have a chance to shine as we welcome Universalists from around the state and region for the Annual Meeting of the New York State Convention of Universalists (NYSCU), October 25 and 26! The keynote speaker will be UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, and we don’t often get to host a UUA President at our church! So please save the date, to volunteer and/or attend the conference as a delegate or guest. Watch for more information as the Fall approaches.
Joys & Sorrows
from 6/16
Joys
  • Tom Williams: "Nine men from the congregation and four friends attended the UU Gathering of Men last weekend. A fun and spiritual time was had by all!"
  • Anonymous: "Today I celebrate 12 years of sobriety - the part that this church plays in my sober journey is undefinable."
  • Friends of Lauretta at First UU Church: "Tomorrow, June 17, is Lauretta Young's birthday. It was a joy to know her grace and kindness. It is a sorrow that she is no longer with us."
