Giving Thanks Amidst Challenges
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
Many Unitarian Universalists feel a discomfort around the figure of Jesus, because his teachings have been distorted by dogma, politics, and fundamentalism. But what if we look beyond doctrine and politics to rediscover the heart of his message? Who was Jesus, really, and what did he stand for? And might his wisdom still speak to us as UUs today? Join us as we explore Jesus as mystic, rebel, wisdom-teacher, and activist.

This is a welcoming space for people of all ages.
Children and youth have the option of staying for the entirety of the service or joining the Sunday WE program upstairs partway through.
November 23–
Sunday Funday
Both groups will gather in Room 4 for our own special Bread Celebration. This will be followed by your choice of card games or (by popular demand) fuse bead art.
A message from your Chalice staff & leaders…
It means so much to us when families brighten our spaces every Sunday morning. Our community is more engaged, more thoughtful, because of the joyful energy and unique perspective our children and youth bring to Chalice. The youngest among us are incredibly important to us.
Over the last year and half, Chalice staff and leadership have been working to rewrite and expand our safety policy and procedures, working to be aligned with California laws and UUA guidelines, as well as our Unitarian Universalist values. Staff and WE volunteers take these policies seriously, as we aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment during Sunday services and WE programs.
With this, we’d like to offer a few reminders–
After service and WE programs have concluded, staff and volunteers hand over responsibility of the children and youth to their parent(s) or guardian(s).
Please be aware not all spaces are safe for young ones to be in, such as storage rooms or closets.
Please ensure young ones are not leaving Chalice property alone or unsupervised.
We ask that doors to rooms be left open where young ones are spending time unless they are under direct supervision of their parent(s) or guardian(s).
Please have a conversation with your children and youth about safety at Chalice. Together, we can ensure our youngest ones have a safe and secure faith community for many years to come.
Help Spread Joy over the Holidays
Give the Gift of Nourishment
We’ll be collecting $25 GROCERY gift cards from 11/10 to 12/7. Many Mansions will distribute these cards to families in our community. If you can donate a GROCERY gift card from Ralphs, Vons Albertsons, etc. that’s perfect! Cards can be placed in the locked box by the admin office or put in our Chalice gift box on Sundays. Help us add stripes to our candy cane – one stripe for each gift card. For more ways to engage, you can check Holiday Helpers – Many Mansions.
It’s that time! This all ages event marks the beginning of the holiday season for Chalice. Trees are put up, lights are hung, and displays are set out to honor all December celebrations. We’ll bring the decorations, you bring the food! Oh, what joy it is!
Questions? Ask Sam or Ana!
It’s the premier unboxing event of the season!
The annual Winter Holiday Service takes us on a journey through the many glorious December holidays. This year’s intergenerational service will celebrate the gifts that each tradition brings to community, one beautifully wrapped box at a time. Join us for a morning of music, stories, and surprises!
