10:30am Sunday Service: To Know and Be Known - Flower Communion Service

Come celebrate the Summer Solstice and our annual flower communion service together! We will consider the power of bearing witness. How is the spiritual experience of knowing one another and being known a building block of solidarity? (Please bring a flower—or a few!—if you’re able to.)


Speaker(s): Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell (she/her)


Each Sunday, we will have several large-print copies of the order of service available. If you would like one, please ask an usher.

Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements

Tuesday, June 16 | Drop-In Discussion: Surprise Guest Sermon

Tonight we’ll watch and discuss a sermon which I’ve handpicked and share with full permission, but it’ll be a surprise. My only hint is that it might have something to do with last week’s topic. 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!


Sunday, June 21 | Social Justice Plate Offering: R Community Bikes Inc.

Our June Social Justice Plate Offering is designated for R Community Bikes. They are a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation organized to collect, repair, and distribute bicycles, and to offer bike education, free of charge, to children and adults in Rochester, improving lives one bike at a time. Please contribute to support this important work. For more info, visit rcommunitybikes.net.


Sunday, June 21 | Coffee Hour Team Meeting

There is no Coffee Hour on Church Picnic Day, so the Coffee Hour team will meet in the Clara Barton lounge right after the service to check in, discuss how we work, how we can improve, and any other ideas! If you have been thinking about joining the team, please join us: no commitment required! If you can’t make the meeting, please email MJ Curry.


Sunday, June 21 | Annual Church Picnic!

Preparing and sharing a meal, exchanging stories, hearing children laughing while playing games in the sun and open air, feeling a soft breeze blowing, and sharing your favorite family recipe—these build community. You mustard heard I love picnics so much. Lettuce enjoy a beautiful day and ketchup with friends. Please join us for the annual church picnic at the Eagle Shelter at Seneca Park on Sunday, June 21, at 1pm. Bring a dish to pass and meat to grill if you want meat. The church will supply drinks, place settings, and some extra food. There will be enough food. If you need a ride, email membership_com@uuroc.org with a way to contact you. No coffee hour that day.
