What is a Chalice Circle?

What a Chalice Circle is Intended to Be

A way to deepen our spirituality through a shared practice.

A way to share our thoughts on life's big questions.

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 the newer and the long time members in our community.

A way to deepen our practice of shared UU principles.

A way to practice service from within a small community.

A way to develop our connections with the rest of the congregation.

What a Chalice Circle is NOT Intended to Be:

A social club, although ties between church members deepen through Chalice Circles.

A debate society, although many important topics are discussed.

A support or therapy group, although the atmosphere is positive.

A worship service, although the meetings and topics have a strong spiritual tone.

A rigid template of activities, although there are general guidelines to follow.

A closed club, although groups must be limited in size to be effective.
