Chalice Days

Chalice Days help us center love and deepen commitment to our Unitarian Universalist values

Take time to center as you journey along your path.

As we move through the year, there are days when each of us chooses to pause: to give thanks, to remember, and to celebrate that which is sacred and good. Wrapped in UU identity and our personal faith journey, these 'Chalice Days' offer mile markers along the path of life, motivating us to find meaning and gratitude along our way.

Unitarian Universalism is a faith held by covenant and not by creed. There are many rich, complex beliefs in the mix. This site does not begin to cover everything UU, or even include everything about each UU tradition or belief. Instead, I share what I find significant to my faith and how I approach the days of my own journey.

These are my Chalice Days. What days do you recognize along your journey?
