November 9 | 5:00 PM | St. Paul’s, Oakland
Join us at St. Paul’s in Oakland (right by Lake Merritt). We’ll meet in the chapel off Bay St. You can park anywhere near St. Paul’s, including in the Veterans Hall lot across the street or in the loading zone in front of the main church on Montecito. Just follow the St. Lucy’s signs until you find us!
What to expect? Prayers, communal singing, conversation, candles, incense, reflection on Scripture, kids, food, hanging out. Dress? Super casual: feel good/look good. Participation? Do as you will, not as you won’t.
What’s the difference between Evening Prayer and the Eucharist services? Evening prayer services are shorter services where we follow a very loose structure of Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. We will typically not have a sermon on these nights, but do more contemplative study/reflection on scripture; we won’t have programming for kids (the service is very short); there won’t be communion/the Eucharist; and we’ll plan to feed everyone dinner (please feel free to bring something to contribute to dinner if you’re able). Evening prayer will most often fall on the 2nd Sunday of each month.
We can’t wait to see you, to worship together, and to continue shaping what’s next.
