United Ministry Church-Aurora at 337 Main Street, Aurora, New York.

THIS QUAINT CHURCH IS GRANDLY BACK-DROPPED BY THE SPARKLING WATERS OF LAKE CAYUGA, THE SECOND LARGEST OF THE FINGER LAKES.
IN EARLY SUMMER, THE CONGREGATION HAS THE OPTION TO ATTEND SERVICES IN THE OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATER. MOTHER NATURE SURROUNDS THIS SMALL BUT ADEQUATE RING OF EARTH AND WOOD. THE CONGREGATION SITS FACING THE WEST ENJOYING THE MORNING WARMTH OF THE SUN ON THEIR BACKS AS THEY LISTEN 'ATTENTIVELY' TO THE PASTOR, ROBERT FRENCH, DELIVER HIS WORDS OF "WISDOM", OR PERHAPS THEIR EYES STRAY A MIGHT AND TAKE IN THE VISIONS OF THE LAKE. AURORA IS THE WIDEST POINT IN THE LAKE, SPANNING A LITTLE OVER THREE MILES.
WHEN THE WEATHER IS BECOMES UNTAMED, THE SERVICES ARE HELD IN THE SANCTUARY, WHICH IS A COLLABORATION OF ORNATE WOODEN BEAMS AND TRUSSES FRAMED BY THE CATHEDRAL CEILING. MANY COLORFUL FLAGS BORDER THIS WELL PROPORTIONED SPACE.
THE CHOIR IS ALOFT WITH THE ORGAN KEEPING THEM COMPANY - THEY LOOK DOWN ON THE ATTENDEES AND THE WORSHIPPERS NEED ONLY LOOK OVER A SHOULDER TO RETURN THE FAVOR.
WELL, ENOUGH FOR THE DETAILS. THIS IS A CHURCH WELL WORTH A SUNDAY STOP WHETHER YOU ARE A VISITOR OR A LOCAL "TOWN OR GOWN" PERSON.
FINALLY, I AM A LITTLE PREJUDICE AS MY PARENTS WERE MARRIED IN THIS CHURCH IN MARCH OF 1943 & THEY JUST CELEBRATED THEIR 66 th ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR - THE CHURCH BELLS IN THE STEEPLE HAVE RUNG MANY TIMES FOR THEM. MAY THEY RING FOR ME AND FOR YOU FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
PLEASE VISIT AND MEET THE "REV" & HIS "BRIDE" - WE NEED TO GROW AND THAT TAKES HUMAN "SEEDS" !!!
