Each week we gather at the chapel for a gourmet latin inspired dinner prepared by our chef Russell Bass.  We follow dinner with a contemplative time of prayer and Holy Communion in the chapel.  We use the songs of Taizé to structure our liturgy.  All are welcome to join and friends are always strongly encouraged!  See you there.

This week, instead of having Taco Thursday at the chapel we will be heading over to Grace Cathedral for the celebration of the Bishop’s 10th anniversary of consecration as a bishop.  There will be a festival evensong (evening prayer) service at the cathedral with choir and then followed by a reception on the cathedral plaza with food and celebration.

You can meet at the chapel or at the downtown Berkeley bart station preferably by 4:15.

Thursday night we add to our usual joyous gathering with a visit by Bishop Marc of the Diocese of California (Episcopal).  Bishop Marc is joining us for the Feast of the Presentation or Candlemas.  We will have a festive dinner followed by a blessing of candles, contemplative prayer and Eucharist.  Please join us and, as always, bring a friend.

CS Lewis’, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, is showing this weekend only at Herbst Theater, San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. It’s a “provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from the demon’s point of view”. Some of us are planning on going to the Sunday matinee at 3:00pm, and we’d love for you to join! For more information, visit: http://www.screwtapeonstage.com/. Please contact Tom or Dawn if you’re interested in joining. Financial assistance is available to those who need it.
