The Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that on Sunday, March 3, the congregation overwhelmingly voted to affirm the recommendation of the Ministerial Search Committee to call Rev. Krista Taves as Eliot Unitarian Chapel's next settled minister. We rejoice as we look forward to Rev. Krista's ministry.
Heartfelt gratitude goes to the members of the Search Committee – Bob Boyd, Janis Cox, Tanya Hull, Carl Serbell, and Rob van Alstyne – who shepherded the search process this past year.
Welcome to Eliot Chapel's Sunday service!
Sunday, March 24 – 9:45 & 11:15 am
Transformation: Don't Try it Alone – Rev. Dee Evans
Personal transformation is often presented as something we do through goal setting. Social transformation is often viewed the same way. What if we flipped the script? What if we said transformation depends upon being in community and only comes through community?
Featured musicians: Flutists: Lily Buck, David Nalesnik, Liz Sale, Jennifer Stewart; Eliot Chapel Recorder Consort: Beth Curtiss, David Nalesnik, Liz Sale, & Carl Serbell; Jennifer Husky, songleader; David Nalesnik, piano.
We now offer two services on Sunday, at 9:45 am and 11:15 am.
The best way to learn about Eliot Chapel is to come to a worship service. Visitors are always welcome!
We meet in our historic sanctuary each Sunday at 9:45 and 11:15 am. We livestream our service for your convenience.
Eliot Chapel is located at 100 S. Taylor Avenue in Kirkwood, Missouri. We are at the corner of Taylor and Argonne, across the street from the Farmer's Market.

There are two small lots behind the church that may be accessed from Madison (the street that runs right along the railroad tracks just south of the Chapel). There are a few spaces reserved for Visitors in the closest lot to Eliot.
Newcomers may park in the Farmer's Market spaces on Argonne Rd. between Taylor and Kirkwood Rd, but members and friends are requested to leave these parking spaces for Farmer's Market customers.
There are public parking lots across from the Farmer's Market and just west of the Market.
There are also a few business lots off Argonne Rd.

There is no dress code at our church. People wear what they are most comfortable in, and it varies from "Sunday Best" to shorts and sandals or jeans and a sweatshirt, or anything in between.
Children of all ages should attend the worship service with their family. Activity bags with crayons and UU coloring pages are available at each sanctuary entrance. Families may also use Adams Hall for freedom of movement while the service is livestreamed on the large-screen television.
The nursery is closed from July 2 to August 6 for staff vacation. The nursery will reopen on Sunday, August 13.

A Rite of Spring – Rev. Krista Taves
An Eastertide Celebration based on the original by Rev. Eric Wikstrom.
Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
Join us in our historic Sanctuary or online each Sunday at 9:45 and 11:15 am. After the service, stay for Coffee Hour in Adams Hall.
The Eliot Chapel Front Office is open Monday through Friday, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
