Grand River Unitarian Congregation

Join us 10:30 a.m. for January Sundays.

January 4, 2026. “Bonfire of Beliefs: The Annual Fire Communion Service.” Rev. Jess. What do you need to let go of to make room for something new?

January 11, 2026. “The Art of Extreme Adulting.” After a year of frustration at the state of the political climate, it boils down to this demand: asking our governing class to act like adults. What does that mean – for them and for us?

January 18, 2026. “Weavers of Possibility: The Requiem Service.” Today we pay tribute to lives lost in the past year, and find inspiration in their lives and legacy.

January 25, 2026. “Converting to Uncommon Sense.” Rev. Jess with music by Tracey Szarka & Jay Moore. UUism has been called the “Uncommon Denomination.” Let’s examine what the ‘examined life’ has to teach us.
