10:30am Sunday Service | The Joy and Challenge of Faith
To place our faith in something or someone can be such a big relief! On this Mother's Day Sunday, let's explore the challenges and the rewards of trusting in something or someone outside ourselves, especially in light of relationships with those who care for us.
Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell

We are cancelling in-person worship for the foreseeable future, and taking our worship experience completely online via Zoom. We will hold on-line services each Sunday at 10:30am (our regular time).
Upcoming Events & Additional Announcements
Wednesdays | Midweek Meditation
First Universalist Church will be hosting Midweek Meditation services with Rev. Lane and Rev. Michelle on Wednesdays from 11:30am-Noon. Just a brief time to connect for deep breathing, meditation, singing, and silence. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link!

Thursdays | Join a Small Group Ministry!
If you haven’t taken the opportunity to be a part of a small group ministry thus far, now is a great time to stay connected. Our Small Group Ministries meet online over Zoom and Rev. Michelle is happy to connect folks who are interested in meeting together for support, spiritual nourishment, and sharing with one another. A Thursday morning and Thursday evening group have started, and both still have a few slots open! Look on the Small Group Ministry page of our website at www.uuroc.org/small-groups to take a survey about interest and availability!

May 16 | Eunice Eckberg Memorial Film Series: When They See Us
Join us to watch the Netflix four-episode series of When They See Us on our own, and meet via Zoom to share thoughts and reactions on May 16 from 10:30 am to Noon. Melissa Parrish (who suggested this series) and Rev. Lane are facilitating this conversation. This miniseries was created, co-written, and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based on events of the 1989 Central Park jogger case and explores the lives and families of five male suspects who were falsely falsely accused and then prosecuted with the rape and assault of a woman in Central Park, New York City. Please RSVP to FIRE@uuroc.org!
