Rev. George Buchanan to speak at Unitarian Universalist

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua welcomes Consulting Minister George Buchanan to the pulpit on Sunday Sept. 22. Buchanan will comment on the troubled times we live in, which sometimes leaves us with moments of despair. He will ask, “How do we restore and sustain hope in the face of our difficulties?” As we worship together, we will reflect on the problems and opportunities in our current situation.

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.

Once a month we Share the Plate with an organization that aligns with UU principles. 100% of the non-pledge money received on Share the Plate Sunday will be given to the chosen agency. This Sunday we Share the Plate with Fredonia Grange No. 1, a non-profit fraternal organization that serves the community in many ways, mostly by making their space available for events like contra dances, aerobics classes, public gatherings, etc. For more information about Fredonia Grange No. 1 visit www.facebook.com/fredoniagrange/

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.
