Ingathering: Fully Alive!

Sunday morning at 10am

with Rev. Nica Eaton

Come home to Chalice for our annual Ingathering celebration and Water Communion as we begin a new congregational year together. We’ll explore what it means to be fully alive. Come celebrate this one precious life, the waters that connect us, and the joy of being together again, and join us for a community picnic at Borchard Park after service.
