UUC to hold Ingathering Service Sunday

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua will hold their annual Ingathering Service for all ages on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 11 a.m. in its new building, located at 222 Temple Street in Fredonia. With Consulting Minister George Buchanan, members will gather to celebrate the blessings of the summer past and look forward to the coming year. Those who have a sample of water from somewhere important to them this past summer, are asked to bring it for the service. For the students, Unitarian Universalist tokens for backpacks and briefcases will be handed out. Most important, though, is for people to bring themselves to this opening celebration!

During worship services, children may remain with their parents, or parents may send children either to the supervised nursery or to the independent play room for children who are able to engage in unsupervised activities such as crafts and games. Both rooms are adjacent to the main room and have large windows which allow parents and children to see one another during the service.

After the Sept. 8 worship service, there will be a potluck lunch and celebration of summer and September birthdays. All are welcome to attend. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass.

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. Worship services are held each Sunday at 11 a.m. at 222 Temple St., Fredonia. Parking for those who need close access is located immediately behind the building. Others should park in the lower lot behind the building.
