Grand River Unitarian Congregation

Join us twice-monthly during the summer for Sunday services at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary.

GRU’s Worship Artists have designed a series of four summer experiences encouraging practices to cultivate more joy, more love, more peace, more hope in our lives to fortify us during difficult times.

· July 12. Cultivating Joy. Brenda Moen & Rosemarie Harris.
· July 26. Cultivating Love. Janis Collins.
· August 9. Cultivating Peace. Wendy Martin.
· August 23. Cultivating Hope. Jessica Bayne.

Our weekly Sunday service schedule resumes with the Water Communion on September 13, officiated by Rev. Anne.

Join us 10:30 a.m. Sundays for thoughtful reflection and inspiring community.
