The theme for January is Story. Join us for “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” with the Rev. Ron Skowronski.
In 1965, the movie, “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” was released. It was the story of Jesus. In keeping with the January theme of “Story,” our minister will reflect on why, in fact, your story truly is the “Greatest Story” never told. It is vital for our growth personally and collectively to know each other’s stories. We will hear from Joseph Campbell, Rumi, and others to encourage this understanding.
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.
