Ongoing Services & Ministries
Bilingual Worship Service - 10:30 am each Sunday
As a bilingual/multi-cultural congregation, we express our worship of God each Sunday through music, praise, Scripture, responses, prayer, and weekly celebration of the Eucharist. Our worship style reflects our diverse cultural and religious traditions. Songs are sung in Spanish, English or both. The sermon is normally in English, but a summary in Spanish is provided as needed. Multiple times a year, we "make our own Sunday" where members share their wisdom, talents and gifts to encourage one another. Some Sundays, we take worship outdoors to the Oasis or we do worship "field trips" to connect with nature or our community partners.
STAY ALIVE - 10:00 am every Thursday morning.
This Bible study, prayer and support group meets online each week. 'STAY ALIVE' is conducted in English.
"Community Dinners" Partnership
We support food distribution through Community Dinners—meals served "take-out" at St. Nicolai United Church of Christ, 3000 N. Kedzie Ave. each Thursday at 12:00 pm. Once a month, a pop-up pantry is held at the same location. We purchase items for the pantry each month. (See the KANSA CoNEXTion calendar for the schedule.)
Oasis Garden
Come to the Oasis during daylight hours to enjoy a time of personal refreshment and spiritual renewal. For information about gardening at the Oasis, contact the church.
