10:30am Sunday Service: Stewardship Sunday!

Draw the Circle Wide

How wide can the circle of care be for First Universalist Church? How wide do we draw the circle of nurturing the spirit and serving the community? Come, explore abundance and generosity and what is possible when we give in and allow ourselves to grow.


Speaker: Rev. Lane-Mairead Campbell


Masking in the First Universalist church building is now optional, please respect any distancing requests by fellow attendees. A mask-required section of the sanctuary is designated for those preferring to stay masked.

Tuesday, April 11 | Drop-In Discussion: Reparations: How might they work?

Many people of good will favor reparations to African-Americans as compensation for the lingering effects of slavery and Jim Crow. But just how would they work? Phil Ebersole will lead the discussion. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!

Want to attend the 2023 UUA General Assembly?

Did you know that the UUA General Assembly is meeting online and in-person on June 21-25 this year? Since the meeting is in Pittsburgh, PA, it makes it a lot easier to attend in person! Our congregation can send up to 4 delegates, so please let the Nominating Committee know if you are interested by emailing nomcom@uuroc.org. The Board of Trustees plans to select delegates at their May meeting. Thank you for your interest! 

Charlie Courtsal, Chair of the Nominating Committee
