This I Believe
Sunday morning at 10am
with Matt Chapa & Chalice Members
Core values are something most people have. This service will allow 3 of our members – Katie Sachs, David Jackson, and Matt Chapa to share theirs with the congregation and give all those attending an opportunity to reflect on their own.

Ingathering Service and Celebration
Sunday, September 13
Ingathering is the start of the new year at Chalice! Welcome back, everyone. We hope your summer has been a joyful one. The Ingathering service is an intergenerational gathering filled with music and honoring the longtime UU tradition of the water ritual.
Afterward, we will gather at Borchard Park for a potluck picnic to celebrate the wonderful gift that is our community. See you then!
WE programs for the new year start September 20
Wondering where your young UUs might find themselves when they’re not in the service?
WE Grow – Our youngest children through lower elementary will be in Room 1 (top of the front stairs, to the right)
WE Wonder – Older elementary children into middle school will be in Room 4 (back of the hallway, at the top of the back stairs)
WE Quest – End of middle school into high school will be in the Library (top of the front stairs, straight ahead) This group will meet twice a month.
If you have any questions about where your young UU might land during their journey through Wisdom Exploration, find Sam Dickerson on a Sunday morning or email her: dre@chaliceuu.org
