Chalice Circles

Chalice Circles are an excellent way to connect meaningfully with others while exploring and clarifying personal values and beliefs. Groups of 6 to 8 people led by a trained facilitator meet for two-hour sessions over a period of several weeks.

Everyone is invited to join a Chalice Circle: the young and the old, new and long-time members, the frequently- and rarely-attending, questioners and those who feel certain of the truth. Chalice Circles are not conversations in the traditional sense, but an opportunity to share and listen deeply.

Chalice Circles are offered periodically during the year; contact the office at admin@whuuf.org or look in the E-blast to see when the next Circles will be offered.

 

Chalice Circle Drive through April

The Tuesday Chalice Circle is sponsoring a donation drive of non-perishable goods* and feminine hygiene supplies in April to support our neighbors, Portland Community College Panther’s Pantry.
The Panther Pantry is a free resource for all current students, faculty, and staff at PCC. Our pantries are stocked with fresh food, canned food, hygiene supplies, and more. Panther Pantries are intended as a stop-gap to help students in periods of high need while they coordinate access to other food assistance resources. According to a recent survey, 43% of PCC students reported that they experience food insecurity.
Each Sunday in April at a collection box in the foyer, you’re invited to donate any of these requested items:
Feminine Hygiene Supplies: All types, all sizes, and
*Link to Panther Pantry Wish List.  Available in stores or on Amazon

Please contact Joyce Porter if you have questions or need more information.

Chalice Circles Form twice a year

Sessions of WHUUF’s small group ministry, Chalice Circles, begin in October and February. In Chalice Circles, participants create meaningful connections by listening deeply to each other. They contemplate WHUUF’s monthly themes through the lens of their lives, deepening their understanding of who they are and what matters to them. This is an important Unitarian Universalist practice. Chalice Circle participants meet twice a month for eight weeks.  They are available both on Zoom and in person. We particularly recommend Chalice Circles for people newer to the WHUUF community.
