The executive committee is proud to announce that we have applied for and received a Chalice LIghters Grant through the Ohio Meadville District for this round.

In August the board voted to approve that we move forward with submitting a Chalice Lighters Grant to help fund the replacement of our main doors. As our facilities team has  recently reported our front doors have served the fellowship well for nearly 50 years but are no longer holding up to building standards.. We  experience a large heat loss as it is impossible to insulate them properly.

The Chalice Lighters program is a way for UU’s to come together for a common need that a congregation in the district faces. Each member will receive notice of the program and be invited to donate to the current project. The program runs November 1st, 2015 through January 31st, 2016. Each congregation usually receives about $2000 from the process.
