We pray a lot here at Chalice. We “give thanks for the gifts and the givers”. We consecrate things like babies and backpacks. We say prayers of petition or lamentation. We are a reverent community, but why? Who are we talking to? Join Rick Wells this week as he engages this existential question of how we create a meaningful life and what this thing called prayer has to do with that creation.
This Labor Day we celebrate the workers of our country. That used to be me. I was a teacher here in The Conejo Valley School District. I retired just before COVID. I enjoyed being a teacher. I had great people to work with, including my administrators. I was also very involved with my union. Unions have done a lot for the workers of the world. Today we will look how unions have helped workers be listened to and not abused and how Chalice has taken the place of my union now that I am retired.
Intention to Change- There are so many challenges facing us. They seem overwhelming. Something needs to change, but what can one person do? Are the answers to be found in programs like Beloved Conversations? Join us in searching for a way forward.
