"Stories I Tell"
Reverend Scott McNeill
A little-known song from 1991 provides a perfect glimpse into the benefits of Chalice Circles--namely, these small groups provide an opportunity to share our experiences and have people listen deeply, without needing to offer advice or jumping in to speak. Join us for our Chalice Circle kickoff, as we reflect on the spiritual acts of wondering, listening, and sharing.

Summer of Gratitude
Sometimes, events or activities come together so seamlessly, it seems as though the whole affair was magically or divinely created and executed. And yet, often, there are hard workers behind the scenes who exert a lot of energy and attention into keeping the church going strong.
So, this is a little note of appreciation for the many folks who worked through the summer doing the following things:
- Ensuring we had a robust presence at the Fourth of July parade and at the Monroe County Fair, with beautiful art and music and tools to engage in conversations
- Caring for one another, with visits and cards and meals and calls and conversations; and, preparing our small group ministries for the upcoming year (since we typically have approximately 200 people involved in chalice circles, men's group, women's alliance, and the upcoming Wellsprings program).
- Paying our bills and being mindful stewards of our resources, both financial and physical (taking care of the building, making aesthetic improvements, working with groups and individuals to use our space)
- Continuing our fantastic Sunday morning experience, greeting people with a smile at the door, offering great music and programs for children, youth, and adults, and allowing us the time, space, and caffeine to socialize and connect with one another.
- Changing the world through acts of love and justice, by showing up at rallies and events or planning for the year, or hosting film screenings, and more.
I hope you know that there is even more that happened this summer and that no list can capture how many people contribute to the thriving spiritual community we have.
In gratitude for all of you (members and friends, volunteers and leaders, staff and supporters),
Rev. Scott
Reverend Scott McNeill, Associate Minister

Chalice Circle Testimonial
By Nan McKinley
The Chalice Circle experience has been a good fit for me. I was first involved with circles through the Neighborhood UU Church of Pasadena, California. I was in a group which met in the home of one of the circle members, though they were not the facilitator. I enjoyed the setting which seemed to enhance the closeness we felt to each other. Roughly the same group met again the next year but this time we had programming to follow. After such a good experience the first year I feared a loss of closeness with the use of topics to spur sharing but it turned out to be a good thing, focusing us and drawing out some members of the circle who were more reticent to speak.
Upon moving home to Bloomington and joining this church which was new to me, I turned to Chalice Circles as a way to feel connected and to help with the transition of retiring, a divorce and the move which had occurred in quick succession. Though I was only here for a few months the first year, I was welcomed into a group and it did help ease my heart and mind to have the opportunity to be heard and to give the gift of listening to others. This last year, my chalice circle provided an even deeper connection. I wholeheartedly recommend the experience!

Pelagius, a Dissident Christian Heretic
Pelagius (360-418 C.E.) was raised in Britain and may have been Irish. A monk, he became known as a scholar and theologian. He went to Rome and there developed a following, admired by Augustine, Jerome, and other Church fathers. Pelagius felt predestination was an error, if not an impossibility, and he promoted the idea of free will. He acknowledged that there may be acts of divine grace that shift people's lives and values, but that without free will what was the point of listening to a preacher?
Pelagius also rejected one of Augustine's chief proposals. He doubted the existence of original sin. He claimed death was part of nature for all living things and death was not a punishment imposed by God for Adam's disobedience. His views created much debate, and in 418, he was declared a heretic and exiled to Egypt. His writings were collected and destroyed, so most of what Pelagius wrote is known only from the records of his trials for heresy. Pelagianism is the term used for his proposal that we have free will in the choices we make about our behavior. Later, Unitarians accepted free will. Calvinists accepted predestination.
