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.

Roots : Our April Spiritual Theme

Our Chalice Circle thoughts and questions around the theme of Roots are
“All that is gold does not glitter,

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

“You can’t hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree.” – Malcolm X

“No risk is more terrifying than that taken by the first root. A lucky root will eventually find water, but its first job is to anchor.” – Hope Jahren

“The higher a tree wants to rise, the lower its roots must grow.” – Matshona Dhliwayo
What is your deepest root?
