Rule of Life

The Chalice Companions Rule of Life

The Rule of Life represents the very heart of the Chalice Companion’s journey into a deeper relationship with God. It consists of the promises that the Companion makes to themselves, their fellow Companions and to their God. These promises are:

Each Day I will:

· Take care of my temple (body).

· Pray the Lord’s Prayer at noon.

· Take my hurts and hopes to God in prayer.

· Set aside time for silence.

· Read a portion of Scripture.

Each Week I will:

· Attend a worship service.

· Greet someone new each Sunday.

· Do an act of love: call, visit, e-mail, or contact someone I know.

Each Month I Will:

· Share with my Chalice Companions.

· Give intentionally and proportionally of my time, talent, and treasure.

· Do some form of outreach (service beyond my family).

· Try to make peace with those with whom I am not in accord.

Each Year I will pursue some form of spiritual formation.
