August 11–
Popcorn Summer: The Value of Equity – How do you define equity? Let’s explore the many ways we can bring balance and fairness to our communities.
Join us this Sunday and throughout the summer as we explore our many Unitarian Universalist values and inspirations.
Sam Dickerson will be away this Sunday. If you are in need of assistance that morning, Amy Reed will be the RE Rep.
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.

J. Piglet is an easy and fun way for children, youth, and adults to learn about our Unitarian Universalist values. As we explore these values and some of their inspirations throughout the summer–and beyond–J. Piglet will be a trusted friend along the journey. We hope you choose to invite him into your home too!

THE CHALICE & NEIGHBORS WEEKEND RETREAT
Friday, September 27 through Sunday, September 29, 2024
We look forward to reuniting with many of our Chalice members and neighbors to enjoy the calm and beautiful mountains with hikes, archery, crafts, connections, and conversations.
New and exciting this year, we hope to inspire more families with children to attend this retreat. Please notice that we slashed the pricing for youth and children making it more affordable. Also, Chalice and Studio City churches will each be doing a Special Collection during the offertory in August to help scholarship families, making it even more affordable.
