Religious Exploration at Chalice!

A place for wonder. A place for fun.

Welcome, welcome everyone!

Chalice Family Update

June 8, 2025

In June, the theme is the Practice of Freedom


Freedom & Responsibility

Sunday morning at 10am

with Rev. Nica Eaton

On this special Sunday, we explore how true freedom is not the absence of responsibility—but the deepening of it. As we welcome new members and discover all that’s going on at Chalice, we reflect on the liberating power of community and the sacred commitments we freely choose. How do we embrace both freedom and responsibility? Join us in celebrating the freedom to belong, to care, to listen within and to co-create a beloved community.

Children will be led by the Lamp of Love to their RE spaces partway through the service.


June 8–

I Like, You Like, We Like – On this day of welcoming new members to Chalice, we will explore what it means to be in community together. What do we have in common, and what do we do when we don’t agree?


Reminder:

After the service, Chalice will hold the annual meeting. You are welcome to participate in person or online. Please check News & Notes for more details.

If you are planning to attend in person and your family will be staying as well, please let Sam know so an activity and appropriate space can be arranged. Thank you.

Jordan, Joseph F. (1863-1929) | Harvard Square LibraryHarvard Square Library

This day in Unitarian Universalist history…

June 6, 1863 – Joseph F. Jordan was born in Gates County, North Carolina, to slave parents. One of the earliest black Universalist ministers, Jordan was distinguished for his work at the Suffolk Normal Training School in Suffolk, Virginia. The training school was part of a Universalist mission and educational center started by Thomas Wise, an assistant of the first African-American Universalist minister, Joseph H. Jordan (no relation) in 1898. Joseph F. Jordan became principal of the school in 1904 and it flourished under his direction, providing educational opportunities to thousands of black children. Jordan remained the principal of the Suffolk Normal Training School until his death on May 1, 1929. ~This Day in Unitarian Universalist History
