Trinity Lutheran Church news

SILVER CREEK — Want something more traditional for your St. Patrick’s Day meal? Trinity Lutheran Church in Silver Creek will be holding an Irish dinner on Sunday, March 17th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in its parish hall. Sorry, but no corned beef and cabbage or Reuben sandwiches will be served. On the menu will be Irish stew, Irish sausage and gravy, classic Irish salad, boiled dinner, soda bread and two Irish desserts.

Cost? For this smorgasbord type meal, we only ask for a freewill offering which will benefit the church’s seminary student and his family and also the Samaritan House in Sinclairville.

The Samaritan House serves the Chautauqua County community by providing a source for clothing and household items at reasonably low prices. Families in need are served at no cost.

Come and enjoy something different on St. Patrick’s Day while you help a worthy cause.

Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 15 Porter Ave. in Silver Creek.

Rev. George Buchanan to speak Sunday at UUCNC

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua is pleased to announce that Consulting Minister George Buchanan will speak on Sunday, March 10. In the 19th century, the founders of Unitarian Christianity put forward a bold and radical idea: rather than being saved by our faith in a particular Christian creed, each of us will be saved by our own individual character. Join us as we ponder if this radical proposition still makes sense for us in the 21st century.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua is a liberal religious community devoted to promoting individual spiritual development, working toward peace, liberty and justice in our immediate and global communities, and providing companionship on life’s sacred journey. Our worship services are held each Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Grange Hall, 58 W. Main St. Fredonia. Please call 679-7944, visit www.uucnc.org or visit our page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/uucnc for more information.
