Peter Scales “The Flaming Chalice“ and Sharing Our Faith Sunday.
Apr 13 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Unitarian and UU congregations around the world use the image of a lit chalice as a symbol of the religion. UU services and many UU meetings feature a chalice. Why do we do that?

Also, once a year Unitarian congregations in Canada are asked to contribute to the national Sharing Our Faith fund, which gives grants for special UU projects. Please bring a cheque.

Amanda Tarling “Our Second Unitarian Principle.“
Apr 20 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Following on from our first Principle the second Principle states: “Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations”. Let’s get to the bottom of what justice and equity really mean. Being a part of a religious community provides a platform and an opportunity for us to deepen compassion. Do we take this opportunity? How do we live this
second principle every day?
