Our newly adopted covenant
We, the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo,
beginning with ourselves as we are, covenant together in love to
Celebrate and find joy in our diversity,
Honor our history and heritage while staying open to the future,
Be generous with our time and our treasure,
Strive for truth and justice within and beyond our congregation,
Relate to all who come here with kindness, respect and compassion,
Learn from one another, and
Honor the sacred in all its expressions.
When we fail, we will acknowledge our shortcomings,
make amends as we can, give and seek forgiveness,
and move forward again in love and community.
We are embarking on an exciting journey to preserve and restore our beloved Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo. Our historic building, a cornerstone of our community since 1906, is in need of crucial repairs. We’ve secured a $250,000 grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places, but we need you help in raising the matching funds. Together, we can ensure our church remains a vibrant hub for generations to come. Learn more and help us Carry the Light Forward by supporting our capital campaign today!

September 22: What It Takes to Shine
By Jake Morrill
Too many of us in our lives play it small. Too many of us hide our light under a bushel. Too many of us resist the holy call, in the time that we have, to shine. Many of us have learned that to shine isn't safe. Some of us--maybe you--are considering living more courageously, living more honestly, shining more brightly, but aren't quite sure how. Today, as this historic and forward-moving congregation kicks off its "Carry the Light Forward" capital campaign, we'll consider together "What It Takes to Shine."

Voice Buffalo
Voice Buffalo is a dynamic force for racial justice and equity, dedicated to dismantling the cycles of incarceration and empowering our youth through education and civic engagement. Our mission is clear: to transform our community by ending systemic inequalities and uplifting those who have been marginalized. As we look to the future, we are taking a firm stand against the construction of a new jail facility in Erie County. We believe that investing in our communities and providing support for those affected by the carceral system is the path to real, lasting change. This November, we are rallying our community to exercise their right to vote. By showing up at the polls, we can collectively voice our opposition to policies that perpetuate injustice and advocate for a brighter, more equitable future. Additionally, we are committed to supporting individuals impacted by incarceration, helping them rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society with dignity and opportunity. Together, we can create a just society where every person has the chance to thrive.
