Spring Chalice Keeper Training

Sunday, February 24 at 11:30 AM
Children in 3rd grade and up, plus their family members, are invited to attend an orientation session to learn about this training program for lighting the chalice in worship services. More than a program of lighting logistics, this training helps youth and their families discover the history and connotations of the chalice itself, as well as what it means to live by the Principles of our faith as informed by its Sources. If this sounds like Greek to you (so to speak) your participation is most welcome. Becoming a Chalice Keeper is a wonderful rite of passage for young people and source of information for the whole family. Families of children in 3rd-5th grade will receive invitations by email to participate, but children of any age from 3rd grade and up are welcome to take part.  Hope to see many of you at the orientation to learn more. Questions? Contact Andrea Purdy Heier.

Beloved Conversations: Sign-Up Deadline Extended to February 24

Register here by February 24

Dates have now been set for the eight follow-up sessions (Saturdays or Sundays), see below for details!  

We are excited to bring back Beloved Conversations — a small-group curriculum for exploring the role of race/ethnicity in our lives. It’s a time for compassion, grace, risk-taking, vulnerability, and the healing joy when cross-racial relationships are reconciled. Not only does it offer opportunities for individual change for people who are white, but it provides organizational support for institutional change and faith formation resources explicitly for people of color. This curriculum has been used by nearly 150 UU congregations across the country since it launched 5 years ago. Continue reading →

Mystery Friends Project – Have You Made a Connection?

Child and adult participants should both have received letters from their mystery friend by this Sunday, Feb. 17.  If not, let Rachel Williams know right away! There is a “mailbox” in the community room as one way to exchange letters. If you need help to pick up or drop off letters, we can help with that as well. The identity of the older participant in the pair is kept hidden (at least, tries to keep it hidden) through 5-6 weeks of communications until the mystery is revealed at the Mystery Friends party on March 17 after worship and classes.  Let’s all “Make a Connection.” Contact Rachel Williams with any questions.
