Honoring Our Ancestors
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
As we celebrate Día de los Muertos, All Saints Day, Samhain, and All Hallows Eve, join us to honor our ancestors. What stories have we been passed on from our ancestors, and what stories do we want to pass on?
Please bring your photos of any ancestors you wish to honor in this special service.

This is a welcoming space for people of all ages. This is an intergenerational service. Children and youth will stay with their families. There is no WE programming this Sunday (with the exception of Coming of Age).
For the past two Sundays, WE volunteer Amy Reed has been helping us to understand the meaning of altars during this time of year. She has also led us in the building of an ofrenda. This Sunday, during the Time for All Ages, Amy and the children and youth will present and talk about present and talk about their altar. Along with your photos for the main altar, please have your child bring a photo of a loved who has passed (family member or pet) to place of the ofrenda. All photos can be collected after the service.
November 1–
There will be no WE programming for our younger groups this Sunday.
Coming of Age – Youth will explore the faith they belong to, the values they belong to, and interview some longtime Chalice members to find out about the faith they belong to. (Youth will not be sung out. Please make your way to the library during the Adelante collection.)

Does your child or youth have a health condition? Allergy? Diagnosis?
Let’s have a conversation! Our goal at Chalice and in our Wisdom Exploration program is to help keep our children and youth as safe and comfortable as possible. If there is something we need to keep a look out for, or an accommodation that needs to be made, let’s make a plan, together.

NEW CAMP for: Youth in Grades 6-8
What is being Wild in the Winter? How do you define wildness? The warm crackle of a woodfire…The crisp feeling of cold mountain air….the rich smell of the pine forest….the mysterious beauty of the night sky….
We welcome family campers to enjoy the weekend programming and stay in a family cabin with their youth (younger youth are welcome). We also welcome new parent/guardian volunteer staff to support the camp, get in on leading or assisting with activities with the youth campers!
