This Week's Service:
Letting Go of Toxic Relatives

"You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives" the old clich� goes. But there are times when our own well-being is compromised by our feelings of obligation to toxic or abusive family members. Sometimes, it's not only OK to let these people go, it's imperative. Rev. Peter House.

This Week's Drop-In Discussion: Talking With The Disaffected. How do practice active listening and respect for those whose views are so extreme from your point of view? How do you keep your cool and not respond in kind to words that are confrontational? Bill Elwell Facilitates.
Memorial Service

A memorial service will be held for Dave Franke (Rev. Martha Munson's husband) this Saturday, July 12, at First Presbyterian Church, 6293 West Main Street, Byron, NY.
