Chalice Circles, also known as “covenant groups” is a vital part of many Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations. Groups of 10-12 people meet regularly, usually monthly, to reflect on and discuss significant life topics. Small groups are great places to get to know other people and to get to know yourself. Over time, participants build deep connections with one another, with the congregation, and with the sacred.

Whether the topic is “good and evil,” “mindful living,” “parenting,” or “letting go,” the conversation is respectful and caring and leads to greater understanding. In each session, facilitated by a member of the congregation, all participants have the opportunity to share their perspectives, tell their stories, and listen deeply. The time together is structured: Groups begin and end with centering readings and often include times for quiet reflection as well as sharing. Many small groups also put their faith into action through service projects.

This Sunday’s Chalice Circle will be abbreviated, which allows attendees to get the idea of Chalice Circles and allow future formation of Chalice Circles at UUCY. Gean Dindia will lead the discussion.
