Chalice Family Update
February 20, 2025
In February, the theme is the Practice of Inclusion
The Gifts of Inclusion
Sunday morning at 10am
with Merlin Snider
When I think of inclusion I can’t help but think of its polar opposite—exclusion, and its many costs, spiritually, materially, and culturally. We are so much better off, and deeply enriched, when we welcome diversity into our experience. We’ll take a glimpse at western society’s evolving relationship with otherness, some of our failings and successes, and what it means today to celebrate the full spectrum of humanity’s rainbow.

Children will be led by the Lamp of Love to their RE spaces partway through the service.
February 23–
Remember to Love Yourself Too – As Unitarian Universalists, all we do in the wider world is fueled by love. We are really good at loving our fellow humans! We also need to remember to love ourselves too. We can’t take care of one another if we don’t take care of ourselves. Let’s play some games and learn a few affirmations along the way.
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.
