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.

The End of Dominion: What We Learn from Murmurations, Flocks, and Packs

August 7, 2022, 10am Rev. Amanda Weatherspoon Associate Minister

Join us as we explore the shift from dominion to stewardship through the lessons we learn from nature. You are invited to bring your animal companion for the animal blessing during the service or an individual blessing during coffee hour! We’ll also have a memorial table to hold mementos from animal companions that have left us.

You can watch this service live on YouTube or join us in person (no registration necessary).
