Chalice Lighters is in the business of helping us to give to ourselves, to share with others what we find so precious about our UU experience. The District’s Growth and Extension Committee (G&E) administers the Chalice Lighters program to help congregations achieve growth potential.
 
Twice each year, in the fall and again in the spring, individuals in congregations are asked to contribute at least $10. Every Chalice Lighters dollar goes to the congregation selected by the G&E Committee to help that congregation take a significant step: to initiate a congregation, to secure professional religious leadership, to secure or improve a building, or to forward the development of a growth plan.

Part of the philosophy of Chalice Lighters is to help congregations think outside the boundaries of their immediate faith communities toward a more global vision of Unitarian Universalism. Part of this larger vision is congregations helping congregations.

 

 

Guided by our living faith, the Unitarian Universalist District of Metropolitan New York exists to be a source of connection and transformation for our congregations and our larger world.
