Accessibility of Building and Programs
The members of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship welcome and affirm people of all abilities. We have taken the following steps to assure that no one is excluded from full participation in the life of our church.
Mobility
Our Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall and religious education classrooms are fully accessible to those using wheelchairs or having limited mobility.
Sight
Large print hymnals and Orders of Service are always available. Please ask any usher for assistance. If you would like an orientation tour of the campus during the week, contact the church office to make arrangements.
Hearing
We have a wireless assisted listening system connected to our PA system. During all church meeting and workshops, anyone wishing to speak from the audience is strongly encouraged to use the portable microphones so those who are hard of hearing are not excluded.
Special Needs Children
If you want your child to participate in the religious education program and feel that they may require special accommodation due to learning disabilities or behavioral issues, please contact the Director of Religious Education in advance so the best possible arrangements can be made.
Pastoral Care
Our volunteer Pastoral Care Committee receive special training to assist those who may feel unwelcome, patronized or marginalized. They may not be able to fully remedy every situation, but they can provide a compassionate ear and a willingness to enlist the help of others. If you have a hidden disability or a need that you think is important for someone to know, please contact a member of the pastoral care team or contact the minister to share your information in confidence.
Website
We aspire to upgrade our website to meet the W3C’s Website Content Accessibility Guidelines, but we acknowledge we’re not there yet. The volunteer website team has not yet been able to tackle this large a task. If you’d like to help us, please contact us at webcrafter@chaliceuu.org.
