Chalice Lighter News:
Help provide funding for UU congregations in our district and you will be a “Chalice Lighter.” The Thomas Jefferson District has sent Call #154 for funds to help the UU Fellowship of Beaufort, SC. They are known as a congregation with a conscience because they decided to sell land back to a Gullah community rather than build their first home. They now have found an acre and two buildings. They are repairing one for temporary worship and RE. During 2012 they expect to outgrow it. They hope to use the proceeds of the Chalice Lighter grant to modify the second building for those uses and modify the first building for offices and social space. Closing date for Call #154 is Wednesday, March 30.
The UU Congregation of Columbia, SC (Call #153) would like to thank the 1,160 Chalice Lighters from the TJ District who sent them $27,000. They are starting Phase 1 of their renovation. Thanks to all at TJMC-UU who contributed to their expansion.
Updated Chalice Lighter information may be found during the week on the brochure table in the foyer and on Sunday Edith Good has them in the Social Hall at the cold drinks counter.
