Church Storage, Organization, and Cleanup
We are taking stock of our many stored items scattered throughout our church building and making efforts to identify, organize, and clear out spaces for new and exciting staff and programming. If you or your committee or group has items stored in the church, please contact conglife@uuroc.org so we may work with you on this housekeeping project. We are striving to keep essentials safely stored and organized, being respectful of our congregation’s contributions, while also donating or discarding accumulated items that no longer serve us. This is also a good time to review your coffee mugs in the lounge, committees’ needs going forward, and mailboxes and materials under the mailbox table in the Volunteer Office!
Tuesday, August 25 | Drop-In Discussion: Open Topic
Let’s have another open topic discussion tonight. Open Topic evenings can be unexpectedly interesting and even encouraging. So even if we can’t solve all the world’s problems, we can be supportive and encouraging towards one another. John Lukes will moderate. We meet via Zoom on Tuesdays 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!
Month of September | Social Justice Plate Offering: Refugees Helping Refugees
Our September Social Justice Plate Offering is designated for Refugees Helping Refugees, a non-profit organization that serves refugees of Western New York. RHR seeks to foster the growth, self-determination, and self-reliance of Rochester’s refugee community by making them agents of their own advancement. Please give what you can to support. Thank you! For more information, visit facebook.com/RefugeesHelpingRefugees. Starting in September 2026, our Social Justice Plate will no longer be collected on just one Sunday each month. Instead, we will be giving a quarter of the offering every Sunday to the organization we have chosen for that month.
Tuesday, September 1 | Fellowship Club
We invite you all to the Fellowship Club! No need to RSVP. No expectation to show up every time. No pressure to explain if you are late or leave early. You are always welcome. Come as you are. There is a place for you here. Coffee provided, and feel free to bring other refreshments you like. Show up, socialize, play a board game—or don't! We hope to see you there: first Tuesdays, 12-1:30pm in the Library/Clara Barton Lounge.
