At ERUUF's Annual Meeting on May 19, 2024 the congregation overwhelmingly voted to designate Rev. Deborah Cayer Minister Emerita. Rev. Cayer served ERUUF for 14 years, which included 12 years as Lead Minister.
Below is Rev. Cayer's response to this honor:
Dear Members and Friends,
My heart is overflowing with gratitude and love upon hearing the news that at this year's Annual Meeting members voted to designate me Minister Emerita. Thank you for this distinguished honor and opportunity to be in right relationship with the congregation.
Though Chris and I are away from Durham for a good part of the year, ERUUF is always in our minds and hearts. Thank you again for this lovely honor.
Blessings,
Rev. Deborah

Sad Garden News: The large Japanese maple beside the Care Building has declined and is largely dead. This maple was planted in the mid 1990's in honor of RE Director, Anne Barton Robinson. We want to acknowledge this dedication as we make plans to remove and replace the tree.
