Come hear about the lasting impact of these small group gatherings.

September 1–

Popcorn Summer: The Inspiration of Reason – It’s our final Sunday of Popcorn Summer! You won’t want to miss out on the fun movie and activity we have planned for you. Oh yeah, and there’s popcorn!

Sam Dickerson will be away this Sunday. If you are in need of assistance that morning, Rick Wells will be the RE Rep.


Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.

5 Easy Ways to Use Your Images for Good on Nature Photography Day

Have you signed your family’s photo release?

In an effort to obtain permissions for photography and videography at Chalice and Chalice events, we are reintroducing our media release form. You can find this form through Breeze. We will also have paper copies available at the RE table during the Ingathering celebration on September 8. The Social Media Team is working on updating our photo policy. You can also view Chalice’s Photographer’s Covenant here. If you have questions, you can contact the Social Media Team or Sam Dickerson.


Have you met J. Piglet?

J. Piglet is an easy and fun way for children, youth, and adults to learn about our Unitarian Universalist values. As we explore these values and some of their inspirations throughout the summer–and beyond–J. Piglet will be a trusted friend along the journey. We hope you choose to invite him into your home too!

We look forward to reuniting with many of our Chalice members and neighbors to enjoy the calm and beautiful mountains with hikes, archery, crafts, connections, and conversations.

New and exciting this year, we hope to inspire more families with children to attend this retreat by offering special programming for different age groups. Please notice that we slashed the pricing for youth and children making it more affordable. If you are in need of scholarship assistance, please speak with Annie Barker or Sam Dickerson.
