We are now worshiping in-person in our beloved sanctuary!
Because we value inclusivity, hospitality and justice:
- We will not ask for proof of vaccination, take temperatures, or keep attendance records for contact tracing
- We ask that you wear your mask over your nose and mouth at all times in the building, seated or standing or singing. Masks are available at the greeter desks.
- Please sit in household pods six feet from your neighbors. Sit where the seat cushions are down, not where the seat cushions are tilted up.
- The Nursery will be professionally staffed during worship services
- Fellowship Time will be held outside. No refreshments will be served.
- Everyone is welcome to multigenerational bring-your-own picnics every Sunday 12:30-2:30 in the church garden. Masks on except when eating while seated. Every child must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian.
WELCOME!We are a compassionate, thoughtful, and diverse religious community who nurture and challenge each other to deeper understanding, meaning and purpose in our lives. We use our hearts and our heads (and a good deal of humor) to make a difference not only in our lives, but the lives of those beyond our doors. Learn more about our beliefs, our services, and our history and more in the About Us tab.

UPCOMING SERVICESAug 1: Many Doors and Many Stories, Tracey Kassman
“A boy at the beginning of the story has no way of knowing that the story has begun.” When we look at the story of our lives, are there doors we left unopened? If we had opened them and began a different adventure would the story we told ourselves about ourselves and our world have been changed? Is it too late to go back and open that door? Are there other doors waiting ahead? Are there other stories we can tell? Simultaneous livestream services will be available here: https://uuma.zoom.us/j/367428065 Click HERE for past services on our church Youtube channel! |

August Share-the-Plate: Journey's End
Journey's End was founded in 1985 and has served well over 100,000 refugees and their families in our vibrant immigrant community. Journey's End provides refugees with the resources and support they need to become successful, active, and productive members of our community by providing them with case management assistance when they first arrive. These services include finding affordable housing, scheduling necessary medical and social service appointments, introducing them to resources in the community, employment services, and setting up bank accounts. Journey's End also provides education programs and immigration legal services. They are working on translating Buffalo walking tour maps into other languages to better serve our international tourists. Journey's End also has an urban farm run by refugees on Brewster Street. Journey's End also founded and hosts the Western New York Refugee Film Festival. It is all virtual and free. Check out the schedule at wnyrff.org.
Every Sunday during the month of August, we will be collecting school supplies for Journey's End. The most needed items are new backpacks, preferably in neutral colors. Other school supplies needed are pencils, pens, notebooks, loose leaf paper, crayons, and markers. New and unopened, please. This is a great time of year to find these items on sale or at discount stores.
