Sunday School is taking a summer break​​​​

School’s out and summer is here!  Sunday School is taking the summer off, but we will
be back in the fall. Throughout the summer, our nursery is open and welcomes anyone up to 5 years old.  For kids staying in the sanctuary, there are activity bags and a nice carpet area to spread out on. Enjoy your summer and we’ll see you soon!

On-going Events

RUC Coffee and Jam

Join us each Sunday at 10:15am in the Kaseman Fellowship Hall. Hosted by Music Director Jim Levy, these sessions will offer an opportunity for church members and guests to perform music in a friendly, informal setting. You can also DJ and share songs that have provided comfort and solace. Music always happens before the church service, but most of the year it is the choir warming up, now it's time for something different! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! (Psalm 100)

​

RUC Monday Meditation Group

Please join us for meditation at the church. No experience necessary and instruction is offered. Meditation groups meet on three different days:

​

  • Sunday evening 7-8:30 pm meditation involves a more traditional Zen format.  Using either a chair or cushion, there are longer meditation periods of 25 minutes, interspersed with walking meditation and encouragement talks. 

  • Mondays 4:30-5:30 pm in the sanctuary.  Mediation periods of 10 and 20 minutes with 5 minutes of silent walking meditation are followed by tea, a poem and reflection time. Suitable for those new to meditation. 

  • Tuesday afternoon meditation from 4:45-6 pm includes seated and walking meditation. We start and end promptly, so come early to find your seat.  

​

The Sunday and Tuesday meditation  groups meet on the basement level. You can enter and park near the back door of the church near the garden.  Look for a sign.  All groups are led by RUC member Martine Palmiter, who is a Zen teacher. Email her with questions: mpalmiter@gmail.com

​

​Women's Breakfast: (second Saturday of each month)

The Women’s Breakfast will be meeting at 8:30 a.m. each month at The Silver Diner, 12276 Rockville Pike.

 

Men's Breakfast: (third Saturday of each month)

The Men's Breakfast will be meeting at the Brooklyn Deli (1089 Seven Locks Road), to allow us to take advantage of the outdoor tables, weather permitting.  We have not been able to provide a consistent Zoom connection, so the breakfast will be only in person. Hope you can join us at 8:15 AM for good food and fellowship.
