Chalice Lighter Call Winter 2010

 January 2010 Dear Central Midwest District Chalice Lighter, Since its inception, the Chalice Lighters program has provided funding to growth projects in almost 40 congregations. We are pleased to announce our Winter 2010 Chalice Lighter Call will support the DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church in Naperville, Illinois. Serving Central Midwest District congregations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, Chalice Lighters grants provide funds for congregations to add professional staff, build new or enhanced space, accomplish public relations and outreach programs, or to fund new congregation starts. The funds granted to the Naperville church will support their efforts to expand their outreach and public relations program. This effort is closely tied to the congregation’s intention to increase its membership and expand its physical space. The Dupage UU Church has demonstrated its potential for numerical growth, as well as their capacity for development of their organization and systems to accommodate the growth. In addition, the congregation has shown their thoughtfulness about this process by shifting the times of their services in order to balance attendance, while remaining ready to add a third service if deemed necessary. |
