10am Sunday Service: Capturing Bugs in a Cup

When my mother found a bug in the house, she’d always capture it in a cup, and let it out. Human beings cause so much harm to other species. We will celebrate the value of kindness, compassion, and gentleness.


Speaker: Peter House



Masking in the First Universalist church building is now optional, please respect any distancing requests by fellow attendees. A mask-required section of the sanctuary is designated for those preferring to stay masked.

Tuesday, July 4 | Drop-In Discussion: Open Topic

A freeform discussion while still following our usual guidelines of waiting to be called on, limiting comments to two minutes at a time and not asking to speak again until all others have an opportunity (just a reminder, dear friends). 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!


Pride Parade Sign-up!

The Rochester Pride Parade is July 15. Sign-up at pride@uuroc.org or in the Clara Barton Lounge on Sundays after services (look for the PRIDE flag table!). Details for times and parking for marchers and lawn chair cheering section will be sent to folks who sign up.


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!

Joys & Sorrows

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


A Sorrow: Don Fradenburg died on June 8, 2023 at his home in Brockport, age 92. There will be a memorial service on Friday, June 30 at 12:30pm at the Heritage Square, 100 Isla Way, in Brockport. He will be buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Geneva NY at a later date. 



Note: When you email a joy or sorrow to us, you are giving us permission to read it aloud at our Sunday service and possibly publish it in this weekly email. Thank you!
