Rev. Dr. William Morrow Good Shepherd Sunday  

This is a special invitation to our worship experience this Sunday, May 15th.  This will be a service that will address some of the hurt that many of our members have experienced over the past few years.  We thought it was important to acknowledge the hurt and do some healing around it. There will be no speaking or sharing circles, just a time to come together as a community of faith, do some reflection and listen to and sing some beautiful music by the talented Dr. Mark Sirett.  We pray that you will leave the service with a renewed feeling ...

Hello Chalmers’ friends, We know you have been awaiting an update from us following the congregational gathering we had on May 7.  The focus of that gathering was to establish guidelines for our next 9-12 months. We all learned a great deal that day about the many restorative steps that Chalmers has taken through our Worship, Inreach and Outreach Circles since we began this journey.   Your Reference Team has incorporated the ideas and dreams from that day into the attached “Moving Forward” document. It is not a traditional Vision and Mission document, but instead an overview of how Chalmers ... Read More

I then expand on this prayer as I share what I see as elements of faith embodied in my ... Read More
