Chalice Circles

We offer several stand-alone classes and ongoing classes throughout the year for adults and teens.

We also have several chalice circles – small group ministry groups that meet regularly for organized discussions around a specific topic.

Get to know us in the comfort and safety of a small group called a Chalice Circle.

Each fall we offer our members and friends an opportunity to participate in a Chalice Circle, which is a form of small group ministry. Circles of 6 to 9 people meet monthly for 10 months, usually at someone’s home and, sometimes, virtually online.

The purpose is to get to know each other well, as the group considers a variety of topics using a short reading and several questions to launch the discussion. Both the UUA as well as individual congregations throughout the country have published a wealth of discussion outlines from which to choose.

A Chalice Circle is:

  • A way to connect across age, gender, ethnic, economic, and other differences.
  • A way to be engaged, included, and heard in a safe, nurturing environment.
  • A way to bring together both new and long-time members of our community.
  • A way to deepen our practice of shared UU principles.

No studying nor homework is needed. It’s not a therapy group but does provide the possibility of deep and meaningful conversations, and sharing the gift of careful listening.
