Congregation sets Sunday speaker

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua, located at 222 Temple St. in Fredonia, holds a Sunday Worship Service at 11 a.m., both at their physical location and on Zoom. For those wishing to join us virtually, please visit https://tinyurl.com/caluucnc. Click on “Worship Service” on the date you are attending and scroll down for the Zoom link. For those attending the in-person service, please follow the driveway and park in the lower lot behind the building.

The theme for February is Love. Sunday’s worship service Is “Financing Our Faith”, with Rev. Sally Hamlin. What does it mean to put your money where your mouth is? What if we framed it as “put your money where your heart is”? As we recognize Love as the theme for the month of February, this seems like an appropriate conversation to have.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua strives to be a vibrant, welcoming, multigenerational, diverse community enlivened by the power of radical love.
