We welcome you to click here and join us for online worship Sundays at 10AM.

We welcome all who would like to worship and grow in faith and fellowship with us. We go forth into our community to share Christ's love with many who need a sign of hope.

A message from our pastor

Dear Church Family and Friends of REUC,
 
For weeks now we have been hearing about COVID-19.  We have been learning through various agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the New York Health Department, our governor and other elected officials that following proper hygiene protocol and social distancing are effective ways to stop the spread. 
 
The Session wants us to model best practices which may minimize the exponential impact we have seen the disease have in other parts of our state, country and world. 
 
Therefore, I share with you that Sunday worship in the sanctuary and all programs of Robinson Elmwood United Church (PCUSA) and Fairmount Community Church UCC are suspended effective immediately until such time we believe it is safe and prudent to come together again face to face. 
 
Jeremiah 29:7 says, "But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
 
We believe our action is a response to the tending of the city to which God has entrusted us. We are not panicking. We are preparing, and hopefully helping to flatten some of the impact of the disease.
 
During this time of social distancing you are encouraged to keep in touch with us.  At this time, the office will remain open Monday – Friday 9am – 2pm.  You can call us there at 315-468-2509.  We do not recommend your coming into the office, particularly if you are an individual who may be considered at risk by age of medical condition. This will also help to protect those of us in the office.
 
You can contact me via email or phone. Contact the office if you need the number or email address. 
 
We may not be coming together face to face, but know you are not forgotten. If you just need to talk with someone, please call us.  If you have a pastoral concern, please reach out to us.  We also encourage you to contact the office by Friday morning with any prayer concerns you wish to have lifted during our service. 
 
During this time of virtual worship, we ask for you to consider making your contributions online. You can also mail you contributions to Robinson Elmwood United Church, 126 South Terry Rd., Syracuse NY 13219.
