Earth-centered outdoor services take place eight times per year on or near traditional pagan “wheel of the year” festival days. Time: 9:30 to 10 a.m. Location: Memorial Garden at UUFR. All are welcome. Remember to dress appropriately (services are moved indoors if weather is inclement). Contact: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Wednesday Evening Vespers

Vespers services are led by UUFR’s ministers or lay worship leaders most Wednesday evenings (September through May) from 6:00 to 6:15 pm in the UUFR Sanctuary (just before UUFR’s Wednesday Night Dinner and Wednesday Wellspring programs). Vespers services usually include a chalice lighting, music or singing, a time for silence, reflection, and meditation or prayer, and one or more short readings. It’s a great way to take a short mid-week break from the busyness of life. All are welcome. Time: 6 to 6:15 p.m. Location: Sanctuary

Lunchtime Music

Inspired to perform or just to listen? Either way, you will enjoy these monthly 30-minute musical sharings. Location: UUFR Sanctuary. Time: 12:15 to 12:45. Date: Each first Tuesday of the month. Contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Community of Mindful Living Meditation Group

This Buddhism study/practice group meets 7:30 to 9 p.m. every Monday in the Clara Barton Room of Peace Hall for sitting meditation, reading, and practice support. Based primarily on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. All are welcome.

Terra Sancta

UUFR's Terra Sancta group honors and celebrates earth-centered traditions that teach us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature and reverence for the interdependent web of being of which we are a part. The group meets at UUFR at noon on the first Saturday of each month. Contact:  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
