A flame within a chalice (a cup with a stem and foot) is a primary symbol of the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition. Many of our congregations kindle a flaming chalice in gatherings and worships and feature the chalice symbol prominently. Hans Deutsch, an Austrian artist, first brought together the chalice and the flame as a Unitarian symbol during his work with the Unitarian Service Committee during World War II. To Deutsch, the image had connotations of sacrifice and love. To Unitarian Universalists today the flaming chalice is a symbol of hope, the sacred, the quest for truth, the warmth of community, the light of reason, and more. We light a flaming chalice in worship to create a reverent space for reflection, prayer, meditation, and singing.

Our Fellowship Hall is fully accessible to those using wheelchairs or having limited mobility. The lower floor is accessible from the backside where the poured concrete leads to the back door. The upper floor is accessible from the ramp at the side of the building. Bathrooms are located downstairs with wheelchair accessible stalls. It is an older building and the bathroom hall can accommodate most wheelchairs but please check with the administrator if your chair is wider than 30” across.

Our programs are designed with larger font for easy readability.

We provide hearing technology connected to our PA system for anyone who requests it from the Greeters. During all fellowship meetings and workshops, anyone wishing to speak from the audience is strongly encouraged to use the portable microphones so those who are hard of hearing are not excluded.

We use odorless candles and we have a well ventilated hall for service.

We provide pastoral care to all members regardless of ability. To build the beloved community, the volunteers on the care team receive special training to assist those who may feel unwelcome, patronized or marginalized because of their disability. They may not be able to fully remedy every situation, but they can provide a compassionate ear and a willingness to enlist the help of others. If you have a hidden disability that you think it’s important for someone to know, please contact a member of the pastoral care team or contact the minister to share your information in confidence.

We have grassy areas where service animals may relieve themselves. If you have any questions not answered or concerns not addressed, please contact the administrator to seek further information.
