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.

Joy is the Antidote

Dec. 12, 2021, 10am Rev. Amanda Weatherspoon Associate Minister, Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd Senior Minister

Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his Holiness the Dalai Lama recently reflected that joy itself is an antidote to the alienation and isolation of these times. Building on Kirsten’s introduction to the subject last week, how do we cultivate this powerful medicine in ourselves and in this holiday season?

Pre-register for ONE service at 10:00 here. 10am service will be online and in person. Registration is only necessary for in-person attendance.
