What does a minister really do all week? And how is that work connected to the well-being of the whole congregation? Join us, as Rev. Nica shares a behind-the-scenes look at the joys, demands, and sacred responsibilities of ministry. She explores the visible and invisible aspects of her role, and why sustainable rhythms like sabbaticals and study leave matter, not just for the minister, but for the health and vitality of the entire community. Tim Snowber will also offer reflections on the importance of shared ministry and how we grow stronger together.

On this special Sunday, we explore how true freedom is not the absence of responsibility—but the deepening of it. As we welcome new members and discover all that’s going on at Chalice, we reflect on the liberating power of community and the sacred commitments we freely choose. How do we embrace both freedom and responsibility? Join us in celebrating the freedom to belong, to care, to listen within and to co-create a beloved community.

In a world where authenticity can be risky, choosing to live boldly as yourself is an act of courage and love. Join us as we celebrate Pride and the radiant beauty of human diversity, because the world needs each of us, exactly as we are.

What dreams might take flight if nothing stood in your way? In this service of wonder and imagination, we’ll explore what becomes possible when we unshackle ourselves from limitation and dare to envision a life guided by our deepest longings. Join Rev. Nica as we stretch the boundaries of what we believe is possible—within ourselves, our community, and the world.

Join us for a service where creativity knows no bounds. This is our ‘out of the box’ service in which we’ll explore the power of imagination to transform our Sunday gatherings. Join us as Rev. Nica and the Worship Team help us go beyond the bounds of our imagination.

e themes of suffering, death, and resurrection—how the story of Jesus’ crucifixion, which seemed like the ultimate loss, transformed into joy and renewal. For many of us, this moment represents the paradox of life itself—sometimes the worst thing can become the opening for something new, something beautiful, something full of joy. Join us this Easter as we celebrate our annual Flower Celebration to remember the beauty that arises from darkness. Please bring a flower to share.

Today we invite you to embrace joy as an act of defiance against the challenges and injustices that seek to diminish our spirit. In the face of adversity, experiencing and sharing joy as a community strengthens our resilience and reminds us of our shared humanity. As we close our pledge drive, we honor the power of collective joy in building a better, more compassionate world. Join us for a celebratory lunch after service.

Today we reflect on what it means to be the light—for ourselves, for each other, and for the world. As a community, we ask: What does it mean to be a beacon? To shine not only in times of ease but in times of challenge? How do we ensure that this light—our Chalice community—burns brightly for all who seek its warmth?

In a world that teaches us to guard our hearts, what happens when we choose trust instead? By practicing Lectio Divina with Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer’s poem Growing Trust, we will explore the courage to release our armor and say yes to life. Together, we’ll reflect on how we trust, inviting us to unfold like a sunflower turning toward the sun.
