In the Wilderness
Rev. Deborah Cayer
Music: TBD
When Pharaoh finally set the Israelites free they grabbed everything they could carry and ran for the sea. They were wise to run, for Pharaoh changed his mind as soon as the terror of the last plague wore off, and all too quickly the thundering noise of his army was at their backs. The Israelites did find their way to freedom, but after they regrouped, what came next? And what comes next for any of us as we wander through this brave new time that we suddenly find ourselves in?

At ERUUF we are committed to following Durham's Stay at Home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (in effect until April 30).
We have moved to online only worship. On Sunday morning join us at 9:00 for the live stream service; the recording will be posted by 11 am. On our home page scroll down to Online Together.
On Wednesday evening join us by Zoom for a Wednesday Evening Vespers Service at 7pm. This will be a shorter, more informal service led remotely by Revs. Cayer and Brett, and will include recorded music, readings, stories, spoken and silent meditation, or prayer.
ERUUF lay leaders are in the process of moving their small groups, classes, and meetings online using programs such as Google Hangouts or Zoom.
Coronavirus: Caring for Ourselves and Each Other

We know that coronavirus is on everyone's mind and we want to share the plans we've put in place at ERUUF to help contain its spread. ERUUF's lay leaders, ministers and staff are here. We plan to offer services, classes and other programs as usual, unless we're advised otherwise by health officials. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions, concerns or needs. Truly, it can help just to talk to someone if this health crisis (or anything else that's going on) is making you uncomfortable.
