What are Chalice Groups and how can I participate?  

 Chalice groups are part of our small group ministry.   It is a great way for members, friends and newcomers to join in a small group (6-10) people and discuss a topic the group selects.  Each person shares her/his thoughts on the topic and the other group members listen, providing the participants, the freedom to share and explore their inner thoughts.  New groups are forming all the time.  Click here for more information.
