Chalice Weekly Family Update
December 17, 2020
December’s theme is… Stillness
Sunday Morning Service at 10am
Winter Solstice
with special guest Christine Blasman
Winter Solstice is a celebration of the longest night, a time where embracing our darkness is a springboard to personal growth and change. Come celebrate the beauty of winter solstice through music, words and visuals. Experience the serenity of solstice, a time to reflect and rejuvenate. Together we will walk through a simple exercise of letting go and looking into the future. Please have a piece of paper and pencil with you.

Winter Solstice is December 21!
The longest night of the year is almost upon us! How will you welcome the return of the light as our days begin to lengthen?
Circle Sanctuary offers a long list of ideas and how to construct your own family rituals. Firelight Camps also offers some simple ways for the whole family to enjoy the Solstice.
Don’t forget! This Sunday we will hold our Winter Solstice service at 10am. Then later that evening is a Ritual for the Darkest Night at 6pm. Please check News and Notes for more details.
Here we come a-caroling!
