Joining our Sunday Service
We are open for in-person services on Sundays at 11:00 am. Per UUCR building use policy, masks are currently OPTIONAL for attendees.
- Limited, distanced seating will be available for those who want to come in person. Please read our Safety Recommendations.
- We also live stream our services on YouTube so that we can meet the divergent needs of all members of our church community.
- In-person RE for grades K-5 is back! We will leave from the service after the Children’s Message. Children must be picked up from the playground (most days) or the Olin Room (adverse weather days) by an adult. If your child is unable to wear a mask, please contact Jessie McKeon, Director of Lifespan Faith Development, to discover ways to keep them included and keep all safe.
- Middle and high school youth groups meet on Sundays at 12:30 pm.

UUCR Library Updates
The library is in the Olin Room on the main floor of the church, and you’re invited to browse! Many thanks to Cindy Lollar for making this possible!
You’ll find six main categories:
- Church Life (information helpful to those leading or administering congregations)
- Human Development (psychology, sexuality, parenting, creativity, grief, etc.)
- Philosophy (thinkers not necessarily concerned with religion)
- Social Issues (environmentalism, social justice, history, etc.)
- Spirituality/Religion
- Unitarian Universalism
Donations are encouraged and welcome, if the books (no multimedia, magazines, or journals) fit into one of the six categories, and if the books are in good condition with no or minimal marginalia. More information about donating is available in the Olin Room.
