The days and weeks leading up to Christmas are filled with hustle and bustle. Much like Mary and Joseph did, let us pause to embrace the beauty of these moments together. We will rejoice with stories, music, and candlelight. And while we nibble cookies and sip eggnog after the service, we might just receive a visit from dear ol’ St. Nick!
Our survival instincts (and the media) encourage us to focus on the worst of what is going on in the world. There is evidence that we are remarkably resilient beings with the capacity to evolve, heal and renew. Presence is the gift of knowing we are not alone as we journey and the holiday season is filled with human rituals of connection and hope that can help us guide our way. Join Grenda as she shares stories of resilience, hope and presence.
December is filled with holidays from around the world–and around our congregation! Please join us for this intergenerational celebration with music and stories as we honor the many beautiful and sacred traditions within and beyond our Chalice community.
Ted Lasso is more than a comical hero in a warmhearted series. His wise words about being a goldfish teaches us about the importance of living in the moment. The gift of presence is hard to appreciate, especially as our lives become more and more inundated with distractions, worry, and regret. Let us come together and explore why it’s so hard to be present, and what we can do about it.
Join us for a Thanksgiving service that goes beyond the traditional story. We’ll delve into the rich history of this land, honoring Indigenous Peoples who have inhabited it for over 10,000 years. We’ll explore land acknowledgements and share in our traditional communal bread ceremony. We will gather after services for our annual ‘breaking bread’ event. Let’s set the tone for a meaningful Thanksgiving week with gratitude and respect.
When our hearts have been broken by what’s going on in our country, our world, and our own lives, we gather together today to mend them in community. Join us to explore repairing our hearts, so they are strong and resilient for the days ahead.
On this Sunday after our country’s election we gather as a Beloved Community, however we are feeling. No matter what, we are more resilient, hopeful, and courageous together. Come one, come all. You are welcome here. Join us to feel the support of friends and community.
At a time when there is so much negative energy and things are tough for many, some of the most profound ways we can be of service in the world is by helping our neighbor. Today, Shoshana Brower joins Rev. Nica to share true stories of Albanians saving Jews during WW2. These are stories of heroism, care, and helping that can encourage and inspire us all at this time. Join us to explore how we can help.
Sunday Service at 10 AM
in person (3331 Old Conejo Road, Newbury Park)
