Drop-In Discussion:
Climate Emergency!
6:30-7:30pm virtual!
For the last 30 years, scientists have known and loudly proclaimed the need for urgent action to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. The Paris Agreement of 2015 was a “legally binding international treaty” to get the job done. It failed. Now the impossible has become necessary. Hank Stone presents.

Library Committee: Big Book Sale!
11:45am-1245pm! Right after our Sunday worship service in the Clara Barton Lounge!
The Library Committee is having a book sale after Sunday services on June 26, with used books for sale for whatever you choose to pay and new books for sale at half price!
We will need payment in exact change or checks for the new books.
We will have a display of new books in our lending library, including a novel by Steve Searls, a memoir by Elizabeth Osta, a history of the freedom struggle in Rochester and a textbook on critical race theory.
We’re not sure when we’ll be able to open on a regular basis for buying, borrowing and browsing. So if you want to stock up on reading material for the summer, this will be a good opportunity!
Please return any church library books you’ve borrowed in the basket on the bookstore table.
Of course if we’re not holding Sunday services at church on June 26, the sale will be postponed.

Eastman at Washington Square - Fall 2022

Faculty and Student Performances from both schools offer an excellent opportunity to hear some of the best musicians that Rochester has to offer and all performances are absolutely free!
Please wear a mask and do not bring food or drink into the sanctuary with you.
Fall Concerts TBA after the summer.
