WORSHIP

We currently have two different types of worship: a weekly Eucharist (Communion) with music, and a weekly reflective evening compline service.

When: Sundays at 7 p.m.

Where: The International Center on the UCSD campus

Specifically, we’ll gather in the Oceanids Pavilion, right near the fountain in the International Center’s courtyard.

Please join us for a unique Eucharist service Sundays in the International Center courtyard on UCSD campus.  We will share beautiful liturgy, communion, scripture and music. Free dinner. See maps & directions below.

When: Thursdays at 8 p.m.

Where: The Center for Ethics and Spirituality on the UCSD campus

Every Thursday, join us for after-dinner/ pre-study treats before Celtic Compline (an evening prayer service). Our gathering will vary depending on the week -- some nights we may take our prayer and conversations outside under the stars; other times, we’ll stay in and discuss scripture, theology, and life before closing with a quietly reflective prayer.

CONNECT:

This worshiping community is an experiment, something different than any church you’ve seen, yet with roots in ancient tradition.  We gather to celebrate Communion: the feast celebrated since the beginning of the Christian movement.  Surrounded by candles, icons, incense, and good music, we connect with word, sacrament, and one another.  Weekly, we gather under the stars to share a celtic-inspired compline service, a quietly reflective descent into peace.

GROW:

Every week we engage in the words of scripture which encourage us to live in a way that brings about a different world.  Through praying with one another we seek to grow into the people we were created to be.

ENGAGE:

The worshiping community has traditionally been a place where Christians come to encourage each other as they engage in ministry in the world.  Each week we find strength in prayer and fellowship to go out and be the church we want to see in the world.
