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.

Naming and Claiming – Ancestors of the Body, Mind, and Spirit

Sun., Dec. 29, One Service, 10am Rev. Alexa Fraser

In this our last service of the year, we will be looking back and forward. Looking back at ancestors — Who were they? And forward at our descendants — Who will they see us to be? Rev. Alexa Fraser, our former intern, will be joined by Bailey Whiteman of this congregation as we look at the sacred in all our family trees.

Rev. Alexa Fraser is our former intern and was ordained by us it a few years ago. She is a graduate of the Starr King School for Ministry – one of only two Unitarian Universalist seminaries. She has been an interim minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Sterling and is currently working in a hospital to build her chaplaincy skills. She holds a PhD in Environmental studies and worked as a health researcher before her career change.
