New time starts in April! We will meet on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 10:00am – 11:30am (instead of 2pm – 3:30pm) at Reeb. Please check your weekly email for next dates we will be involved in the Sunday Service, and for any new song video links so you can practice on your own too. If you want to be added to the Reeb Folk Group mailing list (the most up-to-date information from Mike himself), please contact Mike.

All are welcome. See our upcoming services page for more information, or sign up for our weekly email with this form. We support wearing masks at JRUUC events if you so choose. Services are also available at this Zoom Link.
Eating together is one way we build community! Every third Sunday after the service (usually around 11:30-12:30) we gather together to share a meal. Most months, this is a potluck meal where folks are encouraged to either bring a dish to share. We accept cash donations to help defray the costs, but everyone should feel free to come to the meal regardless of their ability to bring a dish or donation. Gluten-free and vegan options are always provided.
Please contact Genevieve at re@jruuc.org to sign up with a dish if you can, or just bring one at the last minute! Your support is what helps us be able to continue this important community building and fellowship. Thank you!
Our annual congregational meeting will be held Sunday, May 18, after the service and a short coffee hour. At the meeting we will hear reports from the Board and ministry teams, vote to elect new Board of Trustees and Nominating Committee members, and review and vote on the proposed 2025-2026 fiscal year budget. Zoom participation will be available by staying on the Sunday service link.
The agenda and proposed budget, along with other documents, will be sent to the congregation for review 10 days before the meeting. You must be an official book-signed member of the congregation for at least 30 days in order to vote at the meeting.
Just a reminder that your board of trustees monthly meetings are open to members of our beloved congregation. JRUUC BOT monthly meetings are generally in person (not on zoom) in the multipurpose room, every third Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30 PM. Please note that the JRUUC BOT January 21 Meeting will be moved to virtual/via Zoom, 6:30-8:30 PM. Please contact JRUUC BOT President, Karol Niemann, at President@jruuc.org if you would like to attend the virtual meeting, or if you ever have any BOT-related questions. As always, if there is anything you wish to bring to the attention of the BOT reach out to anyone on the board, or email board@jruuc.org to reach all of us. Your input is greatly appreciated. Date/time/location is subject to change.
Beginners Welcome! Check weekly email for zoom link – a brief reading, guided and silent meditation, and opportunity to talk about it. We are currently reading from Joan Halifax‘s contemplative card deck “In a Moment, In a Breath – 55 Meditations to Cultivate a Courageous Heart.”
Sacred Breath Choir welcomes folks of all voice types and musical backgrounds. We meet weekly on Thursdays from 7-8:30pm and sing at 1-2 worship services per month. Singing is nourishment for the mind, body, and spirit. Nourish yourself and your community by joining Sacred Breath Choir! Email Jennifer at music@jruuc.org or chat with them during coffee hour if you have any questions.

The choir will be singing June 1st, on Flower Communion Sunday and then will be taking a break for the summer, until late August. Watch your newsletter for “pop-up choir” Sunday opportunities and other gatherings over the summer.
