 Joseph Bednarik Jamestown, N.Y. – Coming “home” to visit his parents is giving Joseph Bednarik an opportunity to speak to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown (UUCJ) as he does regularly at UU churches in the Pacific Northwest.
“Cosmic Time in the Middle of Nowhere” will be his topic at UUCJ’s 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday, October 13. The Washington state resident describes his message as, “‘You’re in the middle of nowhere,’ the bartender said. Then a young farmer sat down, ordered a burger and a beer, and within minutes a conversation between strangers turned very deep. This Sunday we consider our various nowheres and the cosmic time we share within.” Bednarik grew up in Jamestown and has many fond memories of Bergman Park, Chautauqua Lake, and shoveling way too much snow. He graduated from Jamestown High School in 1983, studied a year at Jamestown Community College, then earned a degree in philosophy from Haverford College. After college, Bednarik moved to the Pacific Northwest and began a long career in literary publishing. He has edited several books and recently published a collection of his Sunday morning talks titled Invited to Speak: Tell it true, make it vivid, keep it tight. Linnea Haskin is the service leader. Everyone is welcome to the service and coffee hour that follows at 1255 Prendergast Avenue in Jamestown. To participate virtually, use the link at UUJamestown.org/calendar. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown is a progressive, liberal religious community serving the southern tier of Western New York and Warren County, Pa. The UUCJ’s mission is to support and celebrate each other, encourage spiritual and individual growth, and serve the wider community. Comments are closed.
