ALL SERVICES ARE IN-PERSON. THE SECOND SERVICE IS ONLINE.
What makes our Sunday service special? YOU!
We invite you to join us in our Sanctuary Sundays at 9:15 AM or at 11:30 AM or online at 11:30 AM for our two Sunday services. Connection is between the two services starting at 10:30 AM. If you plan to attend in-person, masks are strongly encouraged but no longer required.
Our building is wheelchair accessible and our Sanctuary and some other spaces are installed with hearing loops.

This year, instead of monthly themes, we’re experimenting with another kind of rhythm, slowing down the monthly turnover and placing ourselves into the natural world around us. These thematic seasons center our biggest communal celebrations and are longer—seven weeks each—allowing us to delve more deeply. While the weather in Rochester can be unpredictable, we hope that this way of grounding our collective spiritual lives with the turning of the year will weave us ever more tightly into the fabric of interdependence.
