For those attending the in-person service, please follow the driveway and park in the lower lot behind the building.

The theme for December is Wonder. On Sunday, the Rev. Sally Hamlin will ask, “What Color is Your Christmas?”

For many of us, the winter holidays signal a season of loneliness, grief, feelings of isolation or loss. Today we will honor and hold the losses and sadness that is on our hearts and look to one another for what we need to meet each day.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua strives to be a vibrant, welcoming, multigenerational, diverse community enlivened by the power of radical love. We are a congregation that nurtures acceptance, spirituality, and growth while guided by Unitarian Universalist Principles. We provide a place where people engage together through fellowship, celebration, social outreach, environmental action, and transformative justice.
