SUNDAY SERVICE
Onsite & Online ~ 10 am
Reverend Tom Owen-Towle & Merlin Snider
The Ten Commandments Are Still Relevant!
Although 3500 plus years old, these ten imperatives—examining God, Sabbath, family-life, adultery, killing, robbery, lying, and greed—furnish a lodestar for the moral agenda and spiritual life of 21st century progressives. The Rev. Dr. Tom Owen-Towle is grateful to be preaching again at Chalice and will have his latest book, Living with Purpose and Integrity: A Fresh Perspective on the Ten Commandments, available for purchase following the service.
