Small Group Ministry / Chalice Circles
-
Contact / Organizer: Rosene Beachy, rbeachy@alaskalife.net
Our Small group ministry is evolving to include Chalice Circles, which are designed to bring members, friends, and community members closer to one another by cultivating deeper connections. Small groups and Chalice Circles connect UUs on a deeper level. Groups of 12 or less meet regularly (often weekly) for a defined period (for example, 8-10 weeks) to reflect and discuss significant life topics. The time together is structured and may include a chalice lighting, focused readings, and a moment of centering silence before participants share their perspectives, tell their stories and listen deeply.
