Chocolate Auction and Bale Sale – Sunday, February 8, 9:15am-12:45pm

Date: 02/08/2026 Time: 9:15 am – 12:45 pm

In this annual UUCC high holiday, you can expect opportunities to eat chocolate, buy chocolate, bid on chocolate and even bet on chocolate during our Musical Chair Chocolate Walk. Join us after the service on Sunday, Feb. 8! In an effort to be kinder to our Earth, this year we request that people bring their own airtight containers to purchase our treats, if possible, and don’t forget your checkbooks! This will benefit the next high school youth’s trip to Boston. We hope to get back to the biannual schedule that sends our youth to visit places where Unitarians first left their mark in the United States. It’s an expensive trip, so plan on investing in chocolate and the next generation of Unitarian Universalists!
