More info:
http://www.pnwd.org/pages/chalicelighters.php
The Chalice Lighter Program assists the growth of new and existing congregations in the Pacific Northwest District by providing grants. The amount of a grant depends on congregational needs and current Chalice Lighter participation. It is funded exclusively through contributions from Unitarian Universalists who participate as Chalice Lighters.

Covenant
speak truthfully and respond with care and compassion
respond thoughtfully, seeking first to understand, then to be understood
speak directly to any person with whom I have a concern, rather than complain to others
understand that there will be differences among us & accept and care for others despite these differences
refrain from judging other people's motives
test my assumptions and examine my motives
honor my responsibility for upholding the spiritual principles and traditions of our community
cherish the health of the congregation above individual agendas

| Community Offering Committee |
The third Sunday Community Offering began in 2006 when the church leadership suggested a pilot program to contribute ALL funds received from a monthly offering to pre-selected non-profit, local community organizations. This charitable act not only supports our wider community, prompting goodwill in human relations, but also encourages generosity within individuals and within the church. To date, our community collections have averaged nearly $1350/month.
The Community Offering Committee oversees the selection of the community agencies/organizations, makes contact with agency representatives, introduces representatives from the selected agency at the third Sunday service(s) and mails the check representing the churchs contribution to the selected agency.
To choose recipients for the third Sunday Community Offering, the committee solicits input from church members and friends, draws upon personal experiences, considers Sunday service topics, seasonal celebrations and church traditions. See any one of us if you have a non-profit in mind. |

CUUPs
Covenant of UU Pagans |
The CUUPS group provides ritual events for the UUCE congregation as a way to provide regular earth-based worship to its pagan members and as a way to offer non-pagan members opportunities to learn more about the sixth source of Unitarian Universalism. All members of the congregation -- pagan and non-pagan alike -- are invited to attend CUUPS events.

Committee Members Needed
All fundraising requests go first to the Fund Raising Committee, which considers the request and takes into account the calendaring. Then the committee will take the request to Executive Committee for final approval, unless it is a perfunctory fundraising request where the proceeds will go to the general fund. In this case, the committee has authority to approve the request.

Religious Education Committee
|
The Religious Education Committee works closely with the Director of Religious Education (DRE), Candee Cole, to plan and implement the religious education program for children and youth in our congregation. Committee members research and develop curriculum for weekly RE classes, provide backup and support to the DRE during worship services and RE class time, and organize numerous community-building RE activities during the church year (such as the multigenerational Social Justice/Community Service project scheduled for the Spring of 2005). The committee is currently planning the details of its support of the RE program during the DRE's upcoming 3-month sabbatical.
