SUMMER CHALICE CIRCLES
Sundays: June 28th - September 6th
On Sundays in the summer, we meet at 10:30am in the parish hall for Chalice Circles. This year, Chalice Circles will run from June 28th - September 6th. Chalice Circles are lay-led small group ministry gatherings grounded in authentic sharing and deep listening in response to a meaningful topic. Each Sunday, a congregant presents a topic for reflection and thoughtful sharing.
