A ministry of Christy Shirley Fickenscher, MA, Life & Wholeness Soul Care has a mission to promote, encourage, and facilitate mature relationships for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ. With a background in Marriage and Therapy Therapy, she has a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and practiced professionally for many years. She is retired and is no longer practicing as an LMFT.
Her ministry now centers on spiritual well-being as central to wholeness. She has been trained in the ministry of reconciliation (prayer ministry) through Imago Dei ministries out of Portland, Oregon. Prayer ministry is led by a desire to see the light of Christ come into the dark places within hurting individuals. Prayer ministry is both an art and the application of various tools for the unlocking the God-given potential within each person. Soul care sees all of life connected with the desire to live an undivided life as David prayed, “Lord, give me an undivided life that I might praise your name” (Psalm 86:11).
About Integrative Prayer Counseling: Our time together will center around what it is that you bring to the session and learning to listen to where the Lord is drawing you and speaking to you. Through the integrative prayer process, we learn to hear God’s perspective on the areas of our lives in which we struggle. The approach is to also listen to you as a whole person and take into consideration mind, soul, spirit, and body.
Appointments: Counselling sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays at the Chapter House are by appointment only. Contact Christy.

Epiclesis Women's Retreat
2025-06-20 - 2025-06-22
It’s time to mark your calendars for June 20-22 as the Women of Epiclesis return to the beautiful Jesuit Retreat Center at Applegate for their annual retreat.
About the Retreat: Wondering if it’s possible to move from “out of my mind” to “in control” when you’ve got too many projects on your plate and too much mess in your relationships? Feeling overwhelmed is more than a passing emotion. It can become a pattern, a state of mind, and a spiritually sticky place where you cannot move forward. To flourish in the freedom God promises, you need to find a way out. Kathi Lipp will show us reasons we become stressed and, along the way, identify hurts, uncover hope, and embrace practical healing.
The dates are June 20-22 (two nights and three days; five meals; lodging) and the cost is $195. Your deadline for payment has been extended to June 8. Questions or want to sign up? Please email us at info@Epiclesis (and then dot org).

Movie Time at the Chapter House
2025-06-14 17:30 | Chapter House, 7985 Park Drive, Fair Oaks, CA
Join us for our next Movie Time at the Chapter House. It’s the monumental “Citizen Kane.” Saturday, June 14, at 5:30 PM.
Widely considered one of the greatest American films of all time, “Citizen Kane” (1941) is highly regarded for many reasons. Beyond the riveting tale of a self-made man who won and lost it all, the movie is celebrated for its many groundbreaking film techniques. It also features all-star actors, directors, and writers including Orson Welles and Herman Mankiewicz.
When a reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane’s dying words, his investigation gradually reveals the fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights and wealth. Though Kane’s friend and colleague and his mistress shed fragments of light on Kane’s life, the reporter fears he may never penetrate the mystery of the elusive man’s final word, “Rosebud.” (120 min, rated PG).

Movie Time at the Chapter House
2025-05-17 17:30 | Chapter House, 7985 Park Drive, Fair Oaks, CA
Hoping you’ll join us on Saturday, May 17, at 5:30 PM, for Movie Time at the Chapter House. The feature? The multiple Academy Award-winning film “A Man for All Seasons” starring Paul Scofield, Vanessa Redgrave, Orson Welles, and John Hurt (120 minutes, rated G).
This sumptuous historical costume drama from 1966 focuses on the true story of Sir Thomas More who stood up to King Henry VIII when the monarch rejected the Roman Catholic Church in order to obtain a divorce and remarry. More’s clashes with the monarch increased in intensity. A devout Catholic and the King’s Lord Chancellor, More stood by his religious principles and tooks measures to leave the royal court. Unfortunately, the King and his loyalists weren’t appeased and pressed forward with charges of treason, further testing More’s resolve and bringing about one of the greatest moral showdowns in history.
It’s an inspirational story of moral resolve, family, devotion to country, and religious principle.
Will you bring a snack? You’ll have to get really creative on this one. The English are not especially known for their tasty food.
