Special Times

First-Time Chalice Lighters

At the age of five, children may assist with lighting the chalice for the first time in the adult service. This is an important and popular rite of passage in our congregation. Families should indicate an interest with the DRE or indicate their child is a first-time chalice lighter on the Sunday service sign up sheet located on the kiosk in the north vestibule. The DRE will contact you and make arrangements to honor the child at the service and give them a special chalice pin to commemorate the special event. Many times, children light the chalice as part of their birthday celebration.

Child Dedication

Each year at BUUF, the minister and DRE welcome new children into the congregation at a special event known as a child dedication. This special event takes place two times during the year. Families bring their child or children before the congregation to commit to raising the child to express mutual commitment to bringing up the child in the highest spirit of UU values.
