Current CER Chalice Lighter Call

Please make your gift today for the Winter 2023 Chalice Lighter Call to help Unitarian Universalism thrive in the Central East Region.

Your donations provide the funds to make grants to UU congregations and groups of congregations throughout our region, helping them to build strong, resilient, and justice-loving communities.

In our last call we shared with you the news that we made some important changes to the program. Our goal? To make these vital grants accessible to more of our UU faith communities in the Central East Region. We hope to get many more applications for every grant cycle. This makes your generosity even more important in lighting the sparks of hope and life for our faith.

The Winter call is for the first grant made possible by these changes. The UU Congregation of the Susquehanna Valley in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, has a project designed to both spread the word and protect the environment: the installation of an electronic sign that will announce their presence alongside a busy highway in a rural area and provide the infrastructure for future installation of electric vehicle charging stations and solar panels. Your generous donations will provide the funding for 80% of the cost of the project. You can learn more about them in this month's Spark Newsletter (PDF).

Your donations provide the funds to make grants to UU congregations and groups of congregations throughout our region, helping them to build strong, resilient, and justice-loving communities. Please give by December 20 to help us reach our goal of $40,000.

Thank you on behalf of our congregations from your Chalice Lighter Program Committee and staff.
