10am Sunday Service: You Didn't Live With Her

We explore the idea that we are all experts on our own experiences, and we must honor the perspectives others have on their own lives- even when these conflict with what we think we understand.


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.

Upcoming Events &
Additional Announcements

Tuesday, July 11 | Drop-In Discussion: What is neo-conservatism?

We sometimes read about the "neo-conservative" war party in the U.S. government. Who are these people and what do they believe? Phil Ebersole will lead a discussion. 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. 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.


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!
