Chalice Family Update
February 13, 2025
In February, the theme is the Practice of Inclusion
Wholeness Within: Embracing Our Shadow
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
Inclusion begins within. This service invites us to explore what it means to embrace the shadowed parts of ourselves—the fears, flaws, and complexities we often hide. Through love and self-compassion, we’ll discover how honoring our whole selves deepens our capacity to accept and include others, creating a more authentic and connected community.

Families welcome! The Joy Corner is open!
Children will be led by the Lamp of Love to their RE spaces partway through the service.

Teamwork for the Win! – When we include new and old friends, and treat them all with kindness, we can build amazing teams. We can do anything together!
