I hold office hours from 2 to 5 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have set up a Calendly account to make it easier for folks to schedule their appointments. If you use the link below, it will take you to a calendar where you can find available 30-minute appointments. If you want to meet for more than 30 minutes, just book two consecutive appointments.

If you have any difficulty with Calendly, you can call the church office and Lindsey can help you schedule an appointment.

I am happy to schedule meetings outside of those office hours as well. Just call the church office or send me an e-mail at minister@uurockland.org.
