A New Chalice for the Sanctuary


A new chalice for ERUUF The flaming chalice is an important symbol of Unitarian Universalism. Sadly, a couple of years ago ERUUF’s beautiful pottery chalice was accidentally broken. With gratitude, we recently welcomed a new Tree of Life Chalice into our Sanctuary. Created by Mordecai Roth, this powerful chalice bears connections to both our UU history and current events. Many thanks to the Chalice Team members for their terrific work, and to the
Foundation for funding this significant project. Read all about the journey that led us to find our new chalice here.
