Chapel Conversations
Each Wednesday, adults gather to share soup and bread, and read together an essay that corresponds with the scripture reading for the upcoming Sunday morning worship service. The conversation that ensues is honest, open, and thoughtful; we respect and appreciate all viewpoints and understandings of God’s love as revealed in scripture.
​
Wednesdays, 4:45 pm - 6:00 pm, September - May, in the Matthew Room (Newman Wing).
​
Please note: Our fall semester concludes Wednesday, Nov. 20 with a pot-luck meal; our conversations resume January 8, 2025.
Women's Retreat
Each autumn, the women in our community indulge in 1-2 days of rest, re-connection, celebration, and spiritual renewal. The retreat is designed to be as structured or unstructured as each woman needs. Previous retreat themes have included Writing Our Spiritual Autobiographies, Prayer Practices, Sabbath, Make a Joyful Noise, and Rooted & Growing.
Pastoral Care Team
Our lay visitation team assists the pastor by offering compassionate listening and caring companionship with members who are isolated, experiencing difficult circumstances, or in times of transition.
Bereavement Group
Those who are moving through grief or loss of any sort are invited to join this small group, which meets the first Friday of the month at 1 pm in the Chapel. This diverse group shares and supports each other through the complex struggle of grief.
