Chalice Circle: 10:30 am, Online in the Church Zoom Room

The format for our summer chalice circles is simple: a chalice lighting, check-in, and a reflection question on an aspect of the theme for July, embracing possibilities. In chalice circles we come to be nourished by authentic relationships, to listen and be listened to, to mutually support one another, and to create space for spiritual insight.
Worship in July
In July our theme is Embracing Possibilities and the Worship Team is arranging for meaningful and fun opportunities in lieu of our regular services. For our in-person folks there will be Worshipful Workshops – informal, lay-led, participatory workshops centered on different spiritual practices. For our folks on-line, there will be facilitated Chalice Circles over zoom each week with discussion questions related to the theme of Embracing Possibilities.
Some things to note about these events:
1. These workshops and chalice circles are replacing the regular worship services in July and will be at the regular time of 10:30 am on Sundays.
2. This is not a permanent change in how we do worship – this is something we are trying out for the month of July.
3. These will not be multi-platform services; the in-person and online events will be separate. This will allow staff and volunteers who have been working diligently to create the multiplatform experience an opportunity to rest, renew, and be ready to start up again in August!
We hope you will take this opportunity to embrace a new possibility by attending one or more of these different ways to worship.If you have any questions, reach out to one of the Worship Team members:
Janeane Weprin, Meri Murphy, Joanne Stonebraker, and Janeira St. Clare
