Join Us at 9:30 a.m. or 11:15 a.m. This Sunday In Person (Or Online)
Sunday, March 8th, at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m., “College Contemplations: The Best Four Years of Your Life?” With Campus Ministry
Many people fondly remember their college experience as some of the best years of their life, but sometimes forget the struggles. This morning, UUFR’s Campus Ministry group share about what it is really like to be a college student today and the wisdom they have gained from the challenges they have faced.
Our 11:15 a.m. service will be streamed on YouTube as well as being offered in person. To watch the service on YouTube, live or later, visit here.
(This page will be updated by March 12th for the following Sunday’s service.)
Saturday Social and Singing Resistance 🎶
All ages are invited to our next Saturday Social, March 14th. At 5:30 we’ll have a community potluck followed by game night and a Singing Resistance Night where we’ll learn powerful songs being used nationwide that you can bring to protests! Childcare for all ages is available interested in attending Singing Resistance in the Sanctuary!
Singing Resistance is an organization that is giving people a way to remain emotionally and physically connected in the wake of widespread injustice. No singing experience needed!
2026 Stewardship Campaign
UUFR’s 2026 Stewardship Campaign is underway! UUFR members and friends are invited to attend a member-hosted meeting of up to a dozen people. This is your opportunity to meet and socialize with other members who live near you and share your hopes and dreams about the future of UUFR. You’ll also have a chance to learn about some of UUFR’s plans for the coming year and the difference your support (financial and otherwise) can make.
Sign up online here, or sign up in person on Sunday in the downstairs lobby. To learn more about the 2026 Stewardship Campaign click here.
Lead Minister Search
Pre-Candidating Weekends Are Underway!
If it feels like the Search Team has disappeared, that’s because we’ve been in the middle of our pre-candidating weekends. And these are intentionally confidential, which means we can’t share when candidates are here or who they are. It may look quiet on the outside, but it’s actually been very full behind the scenes.
