“A Flame of Love, A Beacon of Hope?”: COMMUNITY WORSHIP: Sept 22, 2024

The Flaming Chalice is the symbol of Unitarian Universalism and most UU congregations begin worship services and other sacred occasions by lighting a chalice. But what exactly does the flaming chalice mean? Where did it come from and why is it so important in Unitarian Universalism? Rev. Tim will be joined by UUCville member and artist Flame Bilyué, whose work is featured in this month’s art show and includes beautiful paintings of the Flaming Chalice.
