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.

In This Great Turning Part 2: The Abundance of Radical Self Love

9:15 & 11:15am Rev. Amanda Weatherspoon Minister for Social Justice & Community Building

We continue to explore “This Great Turning” through a lens of Radical Self Love. Although we live in a society and culture captivated by the myth of self sufficiency, often this self sufficiency is not rooted in self love, but rather fear and scarcity. This Great Turning calls us to move through the world in new and creative ways, but how can we do that if the relationship with ourselves is rooted in scarcity and “not-enoughness”? How can we use abundance as a method of radically loving ourselves? How does a radical self love enable each of us to radically love and transform our lives, communities, and our global village?
