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.

“Life is a balance between holding on and letting go.” -Rumi

In this time of great change, one of the most challenging tensions is when to hold on and when to let go. With so much at stake in our hearts and in the world, what wisdom and beauty can we find in the tension? How can we let go of what is no longer ours while holding to what is deeply true and important in our hearts and the lives that surround ours? Join us for gentle music and a quiet evening in the socially-distanced and safely-masked company of our beloveds. Registration was limited and necessary to help us to maintain safe numbers for the service. Registration is full and now closed. Registered participants: Please park offsite. Safe distancing will be marked on the parking lot for “pods” of an individual or a family group of up to 5-6. Feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.
