The Power of Pausing
Sunday morning at 10am
with Rev. Nica Eaton
Our work ethic culture encourages us to keep pushing on, working hard, and getting things done. But sometimes, particularly when the path ahead is unclear, it helps to take a pause, reflect, and listen deeply within. Join us today to explore the uncomfortable tension of pausing amidst the need to progress.

Families welcome! The Joy Corner is open!
Children will be led by the Lamp of Love to their RE spaces partway through the service.
August 25–
Popcorn Summer: The Inspiration of Peace – All of our UU values are inspired by the need and aspiration of peace. How do our faith practices help us create a peaceful world?
Join us this Sunday and throughout the summer as we explore our many Unitarian Universalist values and inspirations.
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.

Dear Chalice families,
We regret to share that, due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be canceling the End-of-Summer Beach Party. We hope to reschedule a gathering in the near future.
Please enjoy your weekend. We look forward to seeing you at Chalice Sunday morning!
With gratitude for your grace,

Have you signed your family’s photo release?
In an effort to obtain permissions for photography and videography at Chalice and Chalice events, we are reintroducing our media release form. You can find this form through Breeze. We will also have paper copies available at the RE table during the Ingathering celebration on September 8. The Social Media Team is working on updating our photo policy. You can also view Chalice’s Photographer’s Covenant here. If you have questions, you can contact the Social Media Team or Sam Dickerson.
Have you met J. Piglet?

J. Piglet is an easy and fun way for children, youth, and adults to learn about our Unitarian Universalist values. As we explore these values and some of their inspirations throughout the summer–and beyond–J. Piglet will be a trusted friend along the journey. We hope you choose to invite him into your home too!
Young Adult Camp is an annual summer retreat for 18 to 35 year-old Unitarian Universalists and people of all faiths.
Meet new friends, reconnect with old friends, learn alongside social justice volunteers all while dancing your heart out and laughing out loud. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountain views, starry night skies, and a welcoming community, you will find your space and your place in this magical mountain top retreat center.
