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.

Christmas Eve Services

Christmas Eve Pageant, 4pm

This year we return to our long tradition of celebrating the holy birth of every child by retelling the story of Christmas! All are welcome as the children of RRUUC act out the story and featured performers share some familiar beloved music. This service will not be livestreamed. Click here to register to attend in-person.

Candlelight Service, 7pm

Join us both in-person and online for this service of lessons and carols. Using both traditional and contemporary tellings of the nativity story, we’ll welcome our fully vaccinated, masked, and COVID-tested River Road Choir, sharing songs that fill our hearts and a liturgy that rings through the ages. Come pass the light from hand to hand once again – on a shining winter’s night. Click here to register to attend in-person.
