Chili Cook Off — Sunday, February 8, 2026 Join us after worship in the Fellowship Hall for a cozy winter tradition: our annual Chili Cook Off. Bring a pot of your favorite chili—crock pots or similar containers are especially helpful for keeping things warm—and add it to the tasting table. Please also bring a label for your chili, with the name of it, whether it is meat or vegetarian, and with any allergens indicated. Each chili will have a donation container beside it. Cast your “vote” for your favorite by placing a cash contribution in its jar (all donations go to the NUUC Operating Fund). We’ll award prizes to both the vegetarian chili and the meat chili that earn the most in donations. Not in the mood to compete? Wonderful. Come enjoy a hearty lunch, good company, and the simple joy of warm chili on a winter afternoon. In the end, the conversation and community make us all winners. No need to sign up, just bring your chili to the kitchen!
