August 1, Our Three Melting Pots

There is America. There is us. There is our Church. We blend and fuse every day! Seamlessly but not automatically! There is a dynamic! We should take note of it. I'll give you my take on it. Please come and even bring a friend! - Mehdi Kizilbash

August 8, Singing in the Thursday Night Music Club

How can a self-centered soprano become a participating member of the UU church while still addressing issues such as such as a lack of social skills, adverse reactions to people, and a general failure to put the UU principles into action? Luckily, wherever there is a choir, there is a way for those who can sing to serve their community. While Thursday nights may have to be sacrificed, there is a payoff that can only be experienced by sitting in front of the church. - Amy Malachowski

August 15, The Gift of Rain

Rain and water have had strong symbolism throughout human spirituality. With the new church year and Rosh Hashanah approaching, it’s a good time to take a breath, consider some "vintage" concepts, like confession, and have a renewal experience to start off the year right. What do rain, confession, and Rosh Hashanah all have in common? Come find out. - Michelle George

August 22, Intractable Problems, Elegant Solutions

Death of a loved one, Abortion, Avoiding the Draft. Creating Universal Health care in the United States, Attracting a new minister in the depths of a Buffalo winter, Saving a million dollars on trucking costs. Intractable problems all, unless you apply Elegant Solutions. Allow me to explain. - Jerry Kent

August 29, Demolishing Anger Before it Engulfs You

When big business killed my dad, we faced a high profile lawsuit and a media circus. The anger was palpable. Through my story discover for yourself the freedom and power that is within you. - Karen Kuhn
