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.

July 5: A Declaration of Interdependence
by Rev. Bethany Russell-Lowe
As Unitarian Universalists, we hold interdependence as one of our six primary values, centered in love. How has individualism drawn us away from knowledge of our relatedness? How are we called to embody the fact of our interdependence?

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 your 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!

This month's Share the Plate Recipient:
Big, Big Table Community Café
By employing radical hospitality, intentional food sourcing, and an innovative participation-based model, EVERYONE is provided access to a true restaurant experience regardless of ability to pay with dollars. The cafe's mission is to provide a dignified response to the dual public health crises of food insecurity and social isolation by providing a place for affordable, scratch-made meals in a cozy neighborhood place in which to feel seen.
Distinct from a soup kitchen, Big Big Table and other One World Everybody Eats member-cafes are frequented by diners of all socioecomic backgrounds-- think of us as an eatery that just has uniquely flexible payment methods! At a traditional restaurant, a guest is asked to exchange a fixed amount of money for their meal. At Big Big Table, diners are invited to contribute money in an amount meaningful to them, volunteer time, or in-kind donations. Our pay-as-you-can model strives to promote a healthy, socially connected community that meets people where they're at.
