Chalice Circles Signups – 2023-2024

The intimacy of the UUCC Chalice Circle groups is one way to enrich our members’ lives with greater depth of meaning. This regular spiritual practice complements our Sunday morning services as it builds on the monthly themes set by the minister and worship team. It is a place to share deeply with each other, to build lasting and caring relationships, and to strengthen our church’s sense of community. Each Chalice Circle has seven to 10 members and meets at least once a month. Read more.

The signups below reflect the available number of open spots in each Chalice Circle for 2023-24 based on the number of continuing members from last year plus new members already signed up for this year.
