Ordinary Time 2024

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 lemonaide by the playground so that kids can play and the rest of us can fellowship and cool off

Wild Church, 10:30-11:30am
Gage Park Rose Garden (just north of Greenhouse)

Note: There will not be a potluck in July.
We will resume Potlucks the first Sunday of August with a BBQ in Beemer Park.

August: Simple Church

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

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.
