Jamestown, N.Y. – When Reni Bob gives the message to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown (UUCJ) on Sunday, March 17, she will talk about “The Article 2 Bylaws Revisions and Their Discontents.” Bob will address the question: How should a Beloved Community deal with dissent? Having recently celebrated her 95th birthday, Bob can still recall fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe with her family in 1936, after which they lived in several towns and cities in the United States. With an AA in Zoology from George Washington University, she finished college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. While a lab technician at French Hospital in Manhattan, she met and married Murray Bob; they moved to Jamestown in 1963. Bob’s community activities have included board memberships and officer positions in organizations including The Fortnightly, the original board of the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, the Jamestown Concert Association, and UUCJ. Among her hobbies are swimming, cross country skiing, reading, cooking, and painting; she’s won prizes for her paintings at Chautauqua Institution and Fleischer Art Academy in Philadelphia and had them accepted at the Jamestown Art Scape 2023. She has three children and five grandchildren, ranging in age from 32 to 2. Pianist Julie Anderson provides the music for the service, and all are welcome to the potluck that follows. Participation can be in person at 1255 Prendergast Avenue in Jamestown or online. To join 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.
