Upcoming Services 

SPRING 2025

June 15, 2025 at 10:30 a.m.  “Pass the Salt: The Deep Gifts of Food and Friendship in a Community Setting.” Christa Van Daele with Dave Petro and Linda Oliver from Bridgeport Café (aka Wayside Café) and special music by Jay Moore. This congregation has given generously to local food banks, but what would it mean to also provide our presence? This Father’s Day, come hear how Food Bank environments can be marvelous places that we can both richly give to, and richly receive from. Christa writes: “Our thoughts on the topic this morning reflect some life-giving learnings I have experienced in the last year or so around while completing a placement in theological studies.” 

June 22, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. “To Find Something Beautiful.” Rev. J. P. Rodela. Flower Communion and Picnic. Czech Unitarian minister Norbert Čapek, in response to troubled political times, created this beloved UU-unique ritual of sharing and exchanging flowers. Today you are encouraged to bring a flower to share at our communal table (and there will be an abundance available so everyone can participate). This multi-generational celebration will be followed by our annual picnic (see the TAB for details).     

*June 22 marks the end of GRU’s liturgical year.  There will be NO Sunday service on June 29.
