The theme for April is Joy. This week, it will be Justice Sunday with Rev. Ron Skowronski and Janey Wagner.

What is Justice? Does Justice actually exist or is it a figment of imagination? What is the history of Justice? Does it have a future? In this treatment of this most significant issue, Wagner and Skowronski will team up to present a most thought-provoking presentation on Justice.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua strives to be a vibrant, welcoming, multigenerational, diverse community enlivened by the power of radical love. For more information about us, visit our website at www.uucnc.org or call at 716-679-7944.
