Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements

Tuesday, June 13 | Drop-In Discussion: Medical Aid in Dying

MAID may be "dead" for this NYS legislative session, but it will continue to haunt us. Dick Gilbert is on the Clergy Advisory Board of Compassion and Choices New York, and will update us. How we "end" our lives matters. Drop-in Discussions meet via Zoom on Tuesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm. Look on the First Universalist homepage for details and a link, or click the Zoom meeting link in this blurb title!


Sunday, June 18 | Annual Church Picnic!

This year we will have our annual church picnic from 1-4pm at the Riverbend Shelter in Genesee Valley Park (see map here). Please bring a dish to pass and something for the grill! Looking for someone to assist with picnic planning and setup. Please contact Karl Abbott.


Summer MOCHA Update!

Although MOCHA takes a break during the summer months, we still would like to offer the opportunity for refreshments and conversation after services. Here’s the plan: We will have cold beverages and some small treats available to be put out. There will NOT be coffee. If you sign up, before the service, you will need make up a pitcher of ice tea or lemonade and put it and a pitcher of water in the fridge. There would be a treat of some sort to put out, along with napkins. After refreshments, you will need to clean up. There is a signup sheet for each summer Sunday on the refreshment table. If you would be willing, please sign up to help!

Please send your Joys and Sorrows to be read at our Sunday Worship service to JoysandSorrows@uuroc.org.
