Shining our Light Wherever We Are

July 7th marks our first service in our new temporary Sanctuary in Fellowship Hall. No matter where we are, we, the people, are Chalice. With our world in disarray, it is important we shine our light wherever we are. Join us in person to experience the joy of using our building in a new way. You can experience the service live in our Sanctuary or sit with friends on sofas in our new Lounge or Nest and enjoy the service on screens, partaking in communal rituals all together. And of course, we continue to offer online zoom services. Welcome to our new way of worshipping together.

This I Remember

Today, we renew our commitment to each other and our community. We hear inspiring stories from long time members who share tales from their years at Chalice. Join us for these stories of our history, as we prepare for our next chapter. We’ll also be celebrating our newest Chalice members in today’s service!

Anchoring Ourselves in Times of Change

As Unitarian Universalists, we are fortunate to be able to draw from a wide range of sources to guide us on how best to deal with life’s challenges. What does our pluralist approach teach us about anchoring ourselves in times of change and challenge? Join us to explore wisdom about resilience from various traditions that can help us steady during tumultuous times.

We Need One Another

Our community is a precious gift. As we embark on another election year, we explore how we can better support one another through times of trauma, conflict and stress. We also honor our hospitality volunteers who provide our coffee, snacks and run Feeding Hands. Join us to discover tools for resilience and interdependence.

Blossoms from the Mud: Easter & Flower Celebration

Easter’s honoring of Christ’s death and rebirth is the ultimate story of transformation. Join us today as we explore our own tales of endings and new beginnings throughout life. Bring a flower to share in Unitarian Universalism’s ritual of transformation, our Flower Celebration.

As I Am, the World Becomes

Today, Claude AnShin, the guiding teacher at the Magnolia Zen Center in Florida, joins us to share his wisdom. One of the most important aspects of Buddhist teaching is the truth of interconnectedness: the truth that within me exists the entire universe, so, as I am, the world becomes. It is my responsibility to slow down, to invite more silence into my life, so that the truth of my own suffering can become more clear. When my suffering shows itself, I can stop acting in automatic, habitual, or conditioned ways. I can pause and make new choices.

Transforming our Future

As a community, we are poised on the cusp of major, transformational decisions about our future. Join us to explore and celebrate all of Chalice’s possibilities, and kick-off our annual pledge drive.

The Game of Transformation

What if our life’s purpose is to transform? Last summer, Rev. Nica participated in a life changing experiment called “The Game of Transformation” at Findhorn in Scotland. Today she shares the lessons from this game and experiencing life as a journey of transformation. Join us for this mystical journey of transformation.

The Future We Choose

Join us this week as we explore our stewardship of the Earth and how we might approach the current climate crisis with commitment and optimism.
