Directions

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.

Each summer, a multigenerational group from RRUUC travels to McDowell County WV to work with the people of Big Creek People in Action. Days are spent making homes safer, drier, warmer, and generally more livable. In the evenings, we learn about the rich culture of this corner of Appalachia.

The trip is for adults and youth who are incoming 9th graders and older.

Our summer 2025 trip is July 27-Aug 2 for anyone incoming 9th grade and older. Registration is here. Questions? Contact Beth Irikura.

We’re collecting used tools in good condition. Please drop off tools outside room 32.

Our Wish List:

- - Tin snips
  - Pry bar (“wonder” bar)
  - Cordless drills with bits
  - Portable circular saw
