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.
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.

September Share-the-Plate: Erie County Restorative Justice Coalition
The Erie County Restorative Justice Coalition is a coming together of people from across our county who believe that conflicts are often best resolved by the people involved. By creating a safe space where all individuals involved in a conflict can come together and discuss what happened, who was harmed, and ways to repair the harm. Our ECRJC facilitators help to change the way our community addresses conflict and crime through a dialogue process.
We train Restorative Justice practitioners and organizations, host monthly community circles, facilitate Restorative Conferences for community members, organizations, and diversion programs with various police departments and the DA's office. Finally, we assist schools with training and implementation of Restorative Practices to create a culture of care and positive relationships, that will reduce the use of suspension and expulsion and end the school to prison pipeline.
We from ECRJC thank UUCB for your continued support of our work to bring restorative practices to schools, our court system, and neighborhoods! Come experience the power and grace of a circle with UUCB on the 2nd Tuesday of each month or at ECRJC's practice circles and trainings!
