AnOpenandAffirming, ProgressiveCongregation oftheChristianChurch (DisciplesofChrist)
Welcome to Chalice Christian Church! Where we welcome extravagantly, are unapologetically progressive, and seek God’s justice in the world. This is our worship bulletin and our weekly newsletter. To receive this in your email each week, please send an email to chaliceoffice@gmail.com.
Some notes for visiting us during worship:
1) We believe in an Open Table, which means ALL are invited to Communion If you are reading this, we mean you And, no, you don’t have to give money in order to partake
2) Sing as loud or as quiet as you would like
3) If you need to wiggle, wiggle If you need to pace, there is open space in the back! If you need to color, there are sheets in the back!
4) Don’t be afraid to ask questions of the folks around you!
5) There is a gender-inclusive bathroom in the office area.
Well This is... New....
If you are reading this, then you have probably already noticed some pretty big changes! This is the new format we will be using for our e-Sojourner newsletter and our worship bulletin For a time, they will be one document. As we look to the future, and moving, we need to look at new ways of communicating. This new version of the e-Sojourner will continue to be sent out weekly. It will still contain updates about what is going on at the church, just in this different format.
This will also serve as our weekly worship bulletin (see the back page). We are also hoping to, as we look into the future of being a church without a home, to reduce printing. So we are encouraging you to bring your phone, tablet with you to church. The links in here are live! So please use them! There will be a QR code by the door to scan that will take you to a digital version of the bulletin We will still print a few each week, but we are hopeful to have as many people using the digital version as possible!
Peace, Pastor Jay
Pet Blessings
Join us at 12:00 pm on Sunday for a blessing of the pets! This will be a fun time where we can meet our animal family members who may not always get to take places! Please remember to have your pets on a leash or under control. And if you are uncomfortable with bringing your beloved critter, please bring a picture! We will do a liturgy and every living creature in attendance will be offered communion!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Pastor Jay!
