September Spiritual Theme – Nourishment
By Rev. Bill
Our Monthly Spiritual Themes guide our Chalice Circles, which are small, intentional groups of members and friends that gather for spiritual enrichment through personal sharing.
For more information on Chalice Circles, please email Linda Benson at

“We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body.” – Paulo Coelho
What dream nourishes you?
“Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings. Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all
things are blest. The blessing is in the seed.” – Muriel Rukeyser
Think of a beginning that you can nourish in your life. What is it?
“Meditation is a way for nourishing and blossoming the divinity within you.” – Amit Ray
What spiritual practice nourishes the divinity within you?
“Most sacraments are acts of breathtaking simplicity: a simple prayer, a sip of wine and a piece of bread, a single breath in meditation, a sprinkling of water on the forehead, an exchange of rings, a kind word, a blessing. Any of these, performed in a moment of mindfulness, may open the doors of our spiritual perception and bring nourishment and delight.” – Mark Nepo
What “breathtakingly simple” act/sacrament nourishes you?
