Second Sunday of Easter
|
April 2012
|
|
|
|
|
This coming Sunday is often called "low Sunday" because -- alas -- attendance is usually low.
However, this Sunday also you will want to join us in celebrating the Risen Christ! Come and rejoice with Thomas (who history calls the doubting one). In one another and in community we learn together how to touch the wounds of Christ.

Prayer List
Think about starting a "practice of praying" for the Chapel this week -- around the table before a meal, before bedtime, in the morning as you prepare to depart for a busy day. Use this list and remember those in need. We invite your prayers for:
For Maura, who broke her leg and is recovering
For Troy, who is in jail
For David as he begins chemotheraphy
For Don, baby Annabelle, Joyce, Duane as they deal with illness and recovery
For spouses, marriages, and partnerships; especially in the difficult times
For our confirmands, Lee and Matt
For Chapel children and their families
For our DREAMERS, Nico, Jonatan, Raymi, Lucas, Jose, and Alex who are now walking through Nevada
For all who are looking for work
For all who are in transition or discernment
For those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries

| Ashes to Fire |
 From the ashes of Wednesday (February 22, 2012) to the fire of Pentecost (May 27, 2012), we observe a hundred day journey together in faith.
These are the liturgical seasons of Lent, Holy Week, and Easter.
During the eight-Sunday season of Easter, we have written a pattern of simple prayer for you to use at home with your family each week, around your evening meal or at the end of the day. Click here for a this Easter season devotional guide. |
| Yes! blog |
In celebration of easter we handed out free copies of Yes! magazine after the liturgy last sunday. The magazine is full of inspiring articles and life-changing ideas.
If you haven't received your free copy yet, come by this sunday! Yes! offers affordable subscriptions, and there is also a free weekly blog that you can subscribe to by clicking here! |
| The End is Queer |
  Come see Gretchen Colby, Maria Anderson, and Paul Kacynski perform in THE END IS QUEER, a new play developed by students at PLTS.
This witty comedy seeks to explore six people's reaction to the end of times. Some look up to heaven, while others feel pulled down by hell.
April 13, 14 @ 7pm. PLTS, 2770 Marin Ave, Berkeley
Gretchen plays a 19 year old college freshman named Tara who has discovered some big news and is trying to make sense of his/her new reality. Maria and Paul will be adding in their musical talents throughout the two Acts.
A free production, THE END IS QUEER promises to be thought-provoking, side-splitting, gender-confusing, and spiritually awakening! The End is Queer is coming. Don't be left behind!

| Clergy & Community Breakfast |
The East Bay Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice (Pastor Jeff is a member of the steering committee) is celebrating 13 years of standing up with low-income East Bay workers and families and you are invited to its annual Clergy and Community Breakfast!

Tuesday, May 8, 8:00 - 10:00 am at HS Lordships Restaurant, 199 Seawall Drive, Berkeley Marina. Join Pastor Jeff and help him sponsor a table together so that we can have a good showing of Chapel members/clergy/seminarians, etc.
