Everything Lent

The road to Easter is a 40 day journey. Lent is a season of simplicity, repentance, fasting and prayer. We encourage you to remove something from your life in order to make more room for silence, stillness, and generosity.

Please take a look below for more information about this season.

Wake for a Righteous Man 2025

Wake for a Righteous Man is our creative engagement with Good Friday. We invite you to dress in black, to bring snacks (funeral snacks preferably... square sandwiches/nanaimo bars/etc.) or drinks (wine, juice, kombucha, etc.) to share, and to sit with us in the strange hopelessness of crucifixion (before moving on towards the victory of resurrection).

Over the course of the evening a number of people will tell stories of the deceased (Jesus) from the perspective of those who met him during his life.

It's a sombre, moving, immersive, and unique experience.

Wherever people or their friends are with faith and religion, this is a really unique way to experience Good Friday and we invite you to join us at this Wake for a Righteous Man.

Good Friday, April 18, 8-10pm
In the Sanctuary of Eucharist Church
130 Victoria Ave N, Hamilton Ontario

Baptism Preparation

Beginning April 27th we’ll be offering Baptism preparation for anyone who is interested in learning more about this ancient Christian ritual.

These classes will move through the basic confessions of the Christian faith (the Apostles Creed) as offer connections between this ancient tradition and life in our modern world.

Participation in these classes is open to those who wish to be baptized, to those curious about baptism, and those who simply want to learn or remember core tenants of our faith.

Mid-Week Events:

 

Tuesdays

After School Programming: Godly Play, Youth Bible Study, and Parent’s Circle

Our After School Programming is currently on pause but will run for one more seven week rotation after Easter.

Godly Play aims to teach the basics of the biblical story in an interactive and playful way. It is hosted by our Kid’s Coordinator Tash Crozier and some volunteer counsellors. Godly Play is designed for kids from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 4.

Kids in Grade 4 can decide to stay in Godly Play or try “moving up” to Youth Bible Study.

Youth Bible Study is a space to dig deeper into our faith, play games, and learn about being God’s people. It is hosted by Pastor Kevin and some volunteer counsellors. YBS is aimed for youth in Grades 5-8 (Grade 4 are welcome to join if able).

Parental Conversations are an open space for parents to talk about what it means to raise kids in the way of Christ. It runs at the same time as GP and YBS and is hosted by Pastor-Emeritus Jill Trites.

Email Tash about Godly Play and Kevin about Youth Bible Study if you are interested in registering your child.

Wednesdays

Morning Prayer: Learning to Pray Together

A simple liturgy, based off the book of Common Prayer, for those who would like to seek God early in the morning.

This prayer time is part of the ecumenical prayer network The Community of Common Prayer.

Wednesdays, 6:30-7am

Compline: Psalms and Silence to Complete the Day

We gather in darkness to chant psalms and sit in silence. This service can be as anonymous as you want, though it’s a very accessible way to enter into chanting (you sort of learn as you go, but we use very simple tones)

Click here for an example of how this Psalter sounds when chanted (but our services are… darker).

Enter in stillness. Sit where you want. Pray as you’re able.

Wednesdays, 9-10pm

 

Thursdays

Co-working at Eucharist

Every Thursday the Eucharist sanctuary will be open for hanging out, co-working, book reading, and coffee sharing. Bring whatever you’re working on and whoever you want to hang out with.

Open Building, Thursdays 10-4pm
Eucharist Sanctuary, 130 Victoria Ave N

Connect on Facebook

If you consider Eucharist your church home, we invite you to join our Congregational Facebook group, where people share prayer requests, news from the city, and all sorts of other goodness. We recommend intentionally checking it every few days. Don’t rely on notifications as they are pretty inconsistent.

Click here to be added to the Facebook group.

If you don’t have a Facebook account but would like to use our guest account, click here for more details.
