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 Struggle Continues

March 30, 2025, 10am Rev. Connie Simon Interim Minister

Some folks think we’ve “done enough” to support diversity and inclusion in our society. Others say ableism, transphobia, and other forms of oppression are nothing more than “woke culture” run amok. As a progressive faith, what is our responsibility in the continuing struggle for diversity and inclusion?

Join us after the service for a special workshop on microaggressions – those verbal and nonverbal, subtle, and often in ways we discriminate against others and perpetuate it in our world. During this interactive session, we share examples of what microaggressions are and how to respond to and interrupt them.

You can watch this service live on YouTube or join us in person.

RE classes will meet as usual. Childcare for children 3 and under will be available.
