Dear Aspen Chapel Families,
I hope you had a wonderful week of holiday celebrations. We're so happy some of you could make it to our events for the 12 Days of Aspen: the Storytime and Ornament Making and Parents' Night Out. Hopefully you were able to attend one of our Christmas Eve services, too! As we get closer to the new year, it's always a nice time to reflect on the year we've had and to see how far we've come in our internal and external lives. As our children rapidly change on the outside, it's interesting how we change on the inside in response to the ever-changing nature of parenthood.
This Sunday is the second to last day of 2018. It's a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past year and think about the highs and lows we experienced. We'll start with an opening meditation to visualize events in this past year. Then we'll move into an art project that captures memories from 2018. We'll save some time at the end to share before we close with our song and prayer for protection.
As we move into 2019, I'd like to offer more opportunities for youth to do activities through the chapel that work toward building community, experiencing personal transformation, and working for social and environmental justice. If you have any ideas or connections that could help us achieve this goal, please reach out anytime! I'm open to all your ideas and would be delighted to integrate them!
I hope to see your child this Sunday at the chapel! If we don't see you, have a wonderful weekend!
If you ever have questions regarding our
services or your children's needs, please email me at

In Peace and Blessings,
