One Small (Side) Step

Sunday morning at 10am

with Bethany Simonsen

The language we use has a much larger impact on the people around us than we realize. Today we’ll talk about small steps we can take to change our defaults and be more inclusive in everyday life – and why it matters.

Children and youth have the option of staying for the entirety of the service or joining the Sunday WE program upstairs partway through.


May 3–

WE Market!

The WE Market is finally here! We’ve worked for months creating, planning, voting, and dreaming of something fun that will make a difference in the community. Sunday is the day! Children and youth will set up different tables across the patio during the service. After the service, they will work with customers selling art, crafts, and baked goods. 100% of the profits will go to organizations the children and youth voted on–

Ojai Raptor Center (50% of donations)

Surfrider Foundation Ventura County (30% of donations)

Autism Society Ventura County (20% of donation)

See you at the WE Market!

Reverend Nica returns in May!

Our dear Reverend Nica returns to Chalice is just a couple weeks! A lot of time has passed since we wished her safe travels just before Christmas Eve. And now she comes back refreshed and renewed, ready to lead us on the next leg of our journey together.

We will welcome her back on Sunday, May 17. During this service we will hold a returning ritual, something the children and youth will have an important part in. After the service we’ll have a wonderful celebration, so dress for the finest tea party ever. It will be a day to remember!


Our mission: Wisdom Exploration empowers and supports people of all ages to create a world of love, justice, and compassion.
