Chalice Family Update

January 30, 2025

In January, our theme has been the Practice of Story

In February, the theme will be the Practice of Inclusion


Our Inclusive Faith

Sunday morning at 10am

with Rev. Nica Eaton

Unitarian Universalism celebrates diversity as a cornerstone of our shared faith. Today, we will explore how our inclusive principles and values invite us to honor every person’s worth and dignity, build bridges across difference, and create a spiritual home for all. Together, we’ll reflect on the transformative power of truly embracing one another and welcoming all.

Zoom ID: 209 555 249      Passcode: 2020

Families welcome! The Joy Corner is open!

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


February 2–

Bagel Buddies – Children will prepare yummy bagels and toppings during RE. Immediately after the service you can find us on the patio selling and serving these tasty treats. Donations will be divided between the RE Scholarship Fund and Many Mansions. This is Love in Action! 


Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.
