The small group ministry component of our congregation is called a chalice circle. Chalice Circles are led by one or two facilitators, who are trained and supported by the minister and the chalice circle leadership team.
A chalice circle is a group of 5-12 individuals who meet on a regular basis (at least monthly) to be in community while sharing their thoughts in an area of common interest. Each gathering begins with a chalice lighting, an inspirational reading, and a check-in by each person attending. Then, participants focus on the topic of the chalice circle for an hour or so. The gathering closes with a check-out and a closing reading. The members of each circle create a covenant (a set of promises) stating how they will relate to one another during their gatherings; this covenant is the major ingredient for building a safe place for community.
Each chalice circle selects a service project - for the church community or for the community at large - to complete each year.
Anyone interested in being in a circle may sign up during September for the new the new cycle forming then. New circles will begin meeting in October. Watch for more details during September Sunday services and weekly email updates.
