Ordinary Time 2025
Having walked the long road through Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost, we are all ready for a little ordinary time. Throughout July and August we’ll be getting outside for Wild Church, simplifying our Sunday Services, and inviting some friends to teach us more about how the Kingdom of God connects with our daily concerns about the planet and the economy.
All in all, it looks to be a good summer, and we look forward to worshipping together throughout.
Note that this is an evolving page and details may be added over the next few weeks.

July: Wild Church
Wild Church is an inter-generational, participatory time of worship in creation.
We’ll begin the service an a cappella hymn, have a time of collective contemplation, and read a few prayers.
Following that, we’ll go on an attentive walk through the park, participating in a practice called “Terra Divina” (divine earth) where we look for signs of the Creator in Creation, and allow the Spirit to speak to us through nature.
We’ll end with lemonade by the playground so that kids can play and the rest of us can fellowship and cool off
Wild Church, 10:30-11:30am
JC Beemer Park, 86 Victoria Ave N
Note: We will pause our regular potluck in July and August.
August: Simple Church
Simple Church is an inter-generational, stripped down version of our Sunday Service
We’ll continue to worship together as usual, but the service will be simplified to fit within an hour
Elements of the service include music, some shared liturgy, and conversation circles instead of a sermon
Simple Church, 10:30-11:30am
Eucharist Church Sanctuary, 130 Victoria Ave N
Mid-Week Events:
Wednesdays
Morning Prayer - CONTINUES THROUGH SUMMER
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
Eucharist Sanctuary, 130 Victoria Ave N
Compline Service - CONTINUES THROUGH SUMMER
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
Eucharist Sanctuary, 130 Victoria Ave N
Thursdays
Open Building - PAUSED FOR THE SUMMER
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.

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.
