What a year it has been! Let's come together to discuss the next phase of this year: what we are doing for summer as a congregation. Rev. Lane welcomes your thoughts and ideas and will likely have some updates to share. Drop-In Discussions are virtual! We meet 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 on the title of this description!
First Universalist Church will be hosting Midweek Meditation services with Rev. Lane and/or Rev. Michelle on Wednesdays from 11:30am-noon. A time to connect for deep breathing, meditation, singing, and silence. On second Wednesdays, an extra half hour of sharing will follow the traditional format.

Calling all gardeners!
Last year’s season our plants were pretty much on their own, but this new season brings safe outdoor socializing while making our church especially attractive and celebrating our interdependence in the web of life! Please contact Sarah at
garden@uuroc.org if you are interested in being involved.
From the Caring Committee
COVID-19 Vaccines are here. Many of us have already scheduled or received our COVID-19 vaccine; however, getting an appointment can be frustrating. If you are having trouble with the system, these numbers may be helpful: Lifespan: 585-232-3280; Office of the Aging: 585-325-2800—their offices can provide assistance. The good news is that more vaccines are becoming available and more vaccination venues are opening including Wegmans, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.
From the Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee would like to remind everyone that we have several leadership positions opening up for next church year. If you are interested in serving on the Board of Trustees, Nominating Committee, Faith In Action Council, Committee on Ministry, or if you’d like to recommend someone, please email us at
NomCom@uuroc.org. Also, anyone interested in attending the UUA General Assembly in June, send us a note. More information about GA is available on the UUA website. Members will be voting at the Annual Meeting on these leadership positions, and we welcome your suggestions! More info is in the April
Outlook. For more info about leadership opportunities and the rewards of volunteering at First Universalist, please view the Nominating Committee video on Rev. Lane's Reflections, April 22, 2021.
