Why RRUUC?

Like a loving friend, RRUUC draws me back into its company year after year, Sunday after Sunday. Due to the compelling thoughtfulness and creativity of clergy and congregation, I grow more accepting of the breadth of humanity. I become spiritually supple listening to the music and witnessing nature’s display through the glorious picture windows. My teenage daughter continues to soak up the values of inherent worth and dignity. We know that we are on that unending path of a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We are deeply grateful to RRUUC for providing a beacon on the journey.
