Show Notes

We pray a lot here at Chalice. We “give thanks for the gifts and the givers”. We consecrate things like babies and backpacks. We say prayers of petition or lamentation. We are a reverent community, but why? Who are we talking to? Join Rick Wells this week as he engages this existential question of how we create a meaningful life and what this thing called prayer has to do with that creation.
