SUNDAY SERVICE 

Onsite & Online ~  10 am

 

Reverend Nica Eaton

Be the Light

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? Join us for this inspiring service followed by our Neighborhood network meetings and lunch!
