SPACE FOR RESTLESS CHILDREN 
Space for Restless Children: We have speakers in two areas so that restless people and children may sit and listen to the service without feeling they are disturbing others. Speakers are in our new Fellowship Hall and in the foyer at the back of the church, where there is carpet for crawling and chairs to sit on.

Our minister, Rev. Tim Kutzmark, conducts the majority of the Sunday services. Occasionally guest ministers, from both within and outside our denomination, will bring their own special perspectives to a service. In addition, our Worship Arts Committee conducts several lay-led services during the year, often departing from the usual format, adding some variety to the Sunday experience. Also some special services have become traditional at UUCR: our Opening Sunday Water Communion service, a December Music Service featuring the choir, our Christmas Eve Candlelighting Services, a traditional Christmas Sunday service, several arts related services, New Member Recognition Sunday, Youth Sunday, a service conducted by members of the Senior High Youth Group, and Celebration Sunday, the last service of the church year.
