Christ is Risen!

After the long road of Lent we have finally reached the land of Resurrection. Christ is risen.

We’ll continue to gather in this season for worship, prayer, fellowship, and service. More details are posted below.

Note that this is an evolving page and details may be added over the next few weeks.

Sunday Worship

• Sunday worship begins at 10:30am and we recommend coming a little early to get a seat and settle your spirit

• The service is 60-90 minutes, including a time of corporate singing, communal prayer, scripture reading, a sermon, and communion

• There is both a nursery and a kids program that run alongside the service (please arrive early if you’re a new family hoping to have kids participating in either program)

• You are welcome to come as you are (we really mean it)

The Body of Christ Keeps the Score: Exploring the Dysfunctional History of Western Christianity

Whether Catholic or Protestant, evangelical or mainline, as western Christians we are all heirs to the Latin-Germanic tradition.

Our spiritual ancestors developed the communal monastic tradition, created highly effective systems of charity, and followed Jesus in radical ways. But they also pioneered conversion by conquest, the crusades, and eventually global colonization. They weathered intense trauma from the collapse of Roman society to the Black Death to the self-destructive Thirty Years War, all of which imprinted deeply on the Body of Christ.

Whether we know it or not, we continue to bear the burden of this legacy in our communities. The western church is a gifted but dysfunctional family in need of healing. Join us as we engage in some family therapy through an examination of western church history with Dr. Bradley Melle, historian of global Christianity. We’ll work to acknowledge the roots of our unhealthy intergenerational patterns and seek to break cycles, as we seek to follow the way Jesus anew.

The class is free and open to all.

Mid-Week Events:

Tuesdays

Caregivers Circle

An opportunity for parents and caregivers to encourage one another in the impossible and wonderful task of loving little ones. Most of the children in the group are pre-school, but kids of all ages are welcome to join.

We typically have a volunteer who will play with and attend to some of the children so that parents can get a little space and time to connect. Coffee and tea will be provided. Please consider bringing a small snack to share.

Tuesdays, 9:30-11:30am, every week
Enter through the back hall (on Evans St).

Wednesdays

Morning Prayer

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

Wednesdays, 6:30-7am, every week

Compline Service

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, every week

Thursdays

Open Building

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

Taizé Worship

Taizé is a style of worship that is simple, repetitive, and meditative. You can hear an example of Taizé style-worship by following this link (click here). Our local Taizé group is a spiritually mature, patient group of singers, who would welcome you with open arms.

Taizé Worship, Thursdays 11am-12pm
Eucharist Sanctuary, 130 Victoria Ave N
