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.

Wild Beasts and Angels

May 26, 2024, 10am Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd Senior Minister

Many faith traditions have stories of the lessons to be learned in desert places. The wisdom of the dry season. There are often wild beasts there, scary things we would rather not face. But the stories have angels too – wisdom guides to lead the way.

RE classes are not meeting this Sunday. Beth and Laura will lead any interested children/youth on a walk in the woods behind the building starting at 10am. Childcare for children 3 and under will be available.

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