Jamestown, N.Y. – In celebration of Women’s History Month, congregant Kristin Chambers will present “Women are Changing the Narrative” at the Sunday, March 10 service of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown (UUCJ). Chambers sees the songs of today’s younger female singer/songwriters reflecting a seismic shift toward female empowerment. Through the lyrics of songs by Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles and others, she will explore the changing landscape in which many remarkable young women of today are making history. A former Chautauqua County resident, Chambers now lives in Hinsdale, N.Y., with her husband, Ed Miner. She was a professor of social work and spent many years as a youth and family counselor. In 2017, she retired from writing training programs in the social services for the Center for the Development of Human Services at Buffalo State College. Chambers is the vice president of the board of UUCJ, an active volunteer at the Olean Food Pantry, Health Care Access Coalition, and summer Veggie Wheels program. Her favorite thing is being a grandma of three. A coffee hour follows the service. Participation in the 10:30 a.m. service can be in person at 1255 Prendergast Avenue in Jamestown or online.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown is a progressive, liberal religious community serving the southern tier of Western New York and Warren County, Pa.
