RRUUC is an easy-access facility.

Resolution on Racial Justice
As individuals, we commit to a new level of engagement, to continually seek ways to use our voices, our privilege, our standing in the community to effect change.
As a congregation, we commit to turning a new page. We declare the obvious—that Black lives matter to our beloved community. We affirm the need for powerful words and collective action, both to call out injustice and to call in love.

RRUUC Land and Labor Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the land on which we worship is the traditional land of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people and the land through which other Indigenous Peoples traveled. We acknowledge that enslaved African people and their descendants likely labored and lived on this land. We recognize these and other people displaced, enslaved, or harmed by past injustices.

We pledge that we will follow our faith in love and work to make our congregation and our larger community more accessible, inclusive, and equitable. We pledge that we will be good stewards of the land by encouraging healthy ecosystems. We pledge to remember the past while building a more just and welcoming future for all.

Flower Communion on the Plaza

May 29, 2022, 10am

As we approach the 100th anniversary of the first flower communion, which took place in a time of great violence and struggle, we gather again to exchange flowers of hope. Bring a blossom from your home, store, or neighborhood – and take one in return. Together, we remember that beauty persists even in the rubble.

Note: This service will be live, outside on the River Road Plaza. We will not be livestreaming online but encourage online attendees to join services with our sister congregation, Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist, at 11:00.
