The Journey Towards a Better Version of Ourselves
Sunday morning at 10am
with Susan Seats
One of Chalice’s newer members, Susan Seats has recently returned from China. Her passion has been connecting with people globally heart to heart. She brings in the New Year with a service focusing on a mindset of hope, kindness, and lightness amid these turbulent times. Through stories, video, and a little magic, she will explore the importance of personal growth and becoming better versions of ourselves.

UU Values
Building Better Together – Our Unitarian Universalist value of Equity reminds us that when all people have access to what we need to thrive, our communities become all the better for it. Let’s explore this value together through, what else, but Legos!

Pizza and Undeck the Halls
Saturday, January 3, 12-3pm at Chalice
Do you like pizza? Do you like to hang out with others? Do you like to have fun? Are you a fabulous person? Come join us, eat pizza, help put away our holiday decor and be fabulous! We’d love to see you there. For more information, contact Sam Dickerson at dre@chaliceuu.org

It’s the first Bagel Buddies of 2026! Children and youth will prepare bagels and supplies during WE programming. After the service, they will gather on the patio to sell bagels to hungry congregants after the service. Please support your young UUs by planning on staying for 30-45 minutes after the service so that they may have time to work on their justice project. Thank you!

On Sunday, January 25, Chalice’s mid-year meeting will be held after the service. If you are planning to attend in person, we will offer a supervised play/hangout space in Room 4. Space is limited! For the safety of our young UUs, and out of respect for those attending the meeting, we ask that children and youth not be left unattended during the meeting. There is also the option of attending the meeting via Zoom if you prefer to take your family home after the service.
If you would like to reserve your spot(s), please email Sam Dickerson at dre@chaliceuu.org no later than Wednesday, January 21, at 3pm.

This Day in Unitarian Universalist History…
January 1, 1735 – The patriot Paul Revere was born in Boston. Boston’s leading silversmith, he was said to have participated in the Boston Tea Party (1773) after the British Parliament gave the East India Company a monopoly on sales of tea. Revere was official courier to Congress from the Massachusetts Provincial Assembly and went in that capacity to carry the message that General Gage was going to attack the Concord supply depot. A key political organizer in Revolutionary Boston, his politics were Whig and in 1765 he became a Son of Liberty. Later, he was a Federalist. After the Revolutionary War, Revere resumed his career as a craftsman. He supplied materials for the construction of the U.S.S. Constitution (“Old Ironsides”) and made the copper plates for the boilers of Robert Fulton’s steamboats. In addition to work as a silversmith, he started a foundry for casting bells, which became Revere Copper and Brass Co. Revere was a leading member of Second Church in Boston (Unitarian) and paid annual rent of 15 pounds sterling on his pew. Both he and his wife, Rachel Walker Revere, were active members there. Paul Revere died on May 10, 1818. ~ This Day in Unitarian Universalist History
