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.

Morning Has Broken

June 16, 2020 • Joseph Saliunas

At our June 7 music service, Linda led us singing one of my favorite songs. Morning on our grounds can be a special time, with breaking sunlight casting shadows that late sleepers will not be able to appreciate. Here are some early morning images from the past week.

Our tower from the fireside patio.

Cardinal flower by the second bridge in the back. It should be blooming in the next several weeks.

Tulip trees (and a beech) on the rear corner of our lot.

Peace.

View from the trail.

Our Shadbush (Amelanchier sp.) also known as Juneberry. The catbirds love these.

The slope behind the Fellowship fall heading toward River Road is underappreciated.

Our bridge, reflecting the results of the vote at our Annual Meeting.

That’s all for this week. Please reach out to me if you would like to do a “take over” of the blog for a week. The only ground rule is that all photos need to be taken on RRUUC grounds.
