&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#d35400;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:19.5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;,serif"&gt;Chaplains&amp;#39; Circle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336699;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16.8px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2:00 - 3:00&amp;nbsp;PM, Eastern Time&lt;br /&gt;

11:00&amp;nbsp;AM - Noon, Pacific Time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="color:#292929"&gt;Spend&amp;nbsp;an hour with your colleagues to share&amp;nbsp;experiences and resources unique to ministry in a senior living context.

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;Topic for this meeting:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font color="#336699" face="Georgia, serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Rituals that mark sacred moments&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;Rituals are a natural part of life. Some are disctictly religious but many are not. A ritual is something that we&amp;nbsp;do in the same way over and over again to reinforce meaning. We may practice very personal and simple rituals - our first cup of coffee or daily prayer. We also participate with others in rituals that help bind shared moments important to the community - welcoming events, birthday celebrations, community worship and, of course, honoring the end of life. What rituals are done in your community, which of these do you lead?&amp;nbsp; Bring your experiences, ideas and questions to share among your colleagues.&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#e74c3c;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"&gt;&amp;quot;What shall I return to the&amp;nbsp;Lord&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;for all God&amp;#39;s&amp;nbsp;bounty to me?&amp;nbsp;I will lift up the cup of salvation&amp;nbsp;and call on the name of the&amp;nbsp;Lord;&amp;nbsp;I will pay my vows to the&amp;nbsp;Lord&amp;nbsp;in the presence of all the&amp;nbsp;people.&amp;quot; ~ Psalm 116: 12-14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Participation is free but &lt;strong&gt;please register &lt;/strong&gt;so we know who is planning to attend. Your email&amp;nbsp;confirmation will include a zoom link for this meeting.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
