CHALICE CIRCLES ARE FULL AND REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
Chalice Circles offer a way to stay connected to fellow Unity Church members and meet new friends while exploring the monthly worship themes more deeply. Now available in either online or in person options, the circles are a great way to experience the spiritual practice of conversation — both speaking and listening from the heart with a small group of 6-10 people. If interest supports it, we will again offer partners and spouses the choice of participating in a couples’ circle co-facilitated by another couple. NOTE: All other circles are open to individuals and couples both.
Led by trained facilitators, the circles are specially designed to nurture spiritual growth and meaningful conversation. Each month, participants receive a packet on that month’s theme with readings, podcasts, short videos and other resources related to the theme. Each person chooses one spiritual exercise and a deep question from the packet to spend time with over several weeks. Near the end of the month, the group gathers to share their experiences with a practice, a question, and the theme.
Last year’s participants especially valued the circles as a chance to experience community while the church building was closed. Now, participants can choose to join an online circle meeting by Zoom or one that will meet in person at the church (currently wearing masks and following Covid-19 protocols if and as they change). If you haven’t experienced a circle before, or if you were not participating while they were meeting online, we hope you might give them a try now.
