Summer Schedule

For the summer, we’re pausing our usual Sunday services and hosting midweek gatherings around the table in homes and at St. Benedict’s Monastery—warm, welcoming spaces where we can be present with God and one another. Anyone is free to join; in fact, we would love to have you visit and participate at any time!

Each gathering will be hospitable, participatory, and contemplative and includes:

  • Shared supper (pot-luck or delivered) and conversation
  • Listening to scripture
  • Prayer
  • Communion
  • Occasionally: singing, homilies, or teaching

Details

All gatherings are from 5:30pm – 7:30pm. For gatherings at home, please contact us for the address.

Summer Schedule

Summer rhythms are different – school is closed and given the warmer weather, people enjoy things like being outside, camping, travelling/vacationing, and generally moving at a more leisurely and recreational pace. Flexibility are freedom seem more important. Weekends are especially precious and, inevitably, weekend church services take on a different complexion.

This year, we’re trying something new to take these realities in stride and to honour people’s summer dynamics and preferences.

Over July and August, we won’t be meeting weekly on Sundays at the resource centre. Alongside some informal gatherings, we’ll gather intentionally four times at someone’s home on a Wednesday evening. We’ll begin with supper and then have some curated times of prayer, scripture, singing, communion, reflection, etc.

If you’d like to join any gathering, you’re welcome! Just message us and we’ll send you the address. 🙂
