- October 2 - Team Building - Carmelo Hernandez, Chautauqua County Director of Community Mental Hygiene Services
It takes a village to accomplish any task, any goal. - October 9 - It is Darkest Before the Dawn - Jeffrey Victor
Many religious liberals are a little depressed today by the increasing influence of dark forces threatening our democracy. However, there is a lot of evidence that this is a time of darkness before the dawn. Jeff will offer some insight into why the culture of white Christian nationalism and racism has become so powerful and such a threat to our democracy. Yet, there is a lot of evidence for hope that the situation is only temporary. It may be the last gasp of a disappearing culture in parts of American society. A Congregational Forum follows the service. - Oct 16 - The Storm IS Passing Over - Verdis LeVar Robinson
A sermon about the inspirational life and legacy of Rev. Charles Albert Tindley.
A potluck lunch follows the service.
