I Would Love to Live Like a River Flows

Sunday morning at 10am

with Suzanne Freiberg

As we recognize Earth Day, and with the words of John O’Donohue, Celtic philosopher, poet, and nature lover guiding us, we will explore our relationship with rivers and our interdependence, focusing on the integral role they play in our spiritual journeys. We recognize the flow of these rivers of life as a metaphor for the flow of our own lives, and we honor the ecosystem of wisdom they offer; one that holds life lessons for each of our journeys. “I’d love to live my life like a river flows. Carried by the surprised of its own unfolding.” ~John O’Donahue

April 19–

Kindness Creators

Let’s give it another go with button making! (Silly us for planning the first round during Spring Break!) Design and decorate buttons of different sizes. What messages of kindness and joy do you want to put out into the world? What would make someone smile? How many buttons do you think you can make? All buttons will be sold at our super awesome WE Market being held Sunday, May 3!


Voting and Elections for Kids! - Richmond Public Library

Throughout the month of April, children and youth will be voting on the organizations that will be receiving the proceeds from our WE market being held on May 3. Each Sunday they participate in WE, they will have an opportunity to vote for their top three choices. At the end of April, all votes will be counted. The top three organizations will receive a donation from the Chalice WE Program–1st place will receive 50% of the total proceeds, 2nd place, will receive 30%, and 3rd place will receive 20%.

Here is our final ballot! If you would like to discuss these organizations with your family and learn more about them, please click on the links below.
