Congregation plans Sunday service

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. Handicapped parking is located between the two buildings and directly behind the second building.

The theme for March is Trust. On Sunday, the topic will be The Night I “Died” with Rev. Ron Skowronski.

In Christian scripture, it is stated that the last great enemy to be destroyed is death. In this reflection, the minister will engage the group in a study of how humanity has evolved its understanding of death. There will be a view from the 177-year-old Spiritualist Movement, Orthodox Faith points of view, as well as near death experiences … even the one where our minister “died.” Nothing bump in the night scary. Just bring an open mind.

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