The Lounge is church stripped of its formality. We meet weekly to share in a community meal. We bring food to share with everyone and visitors and guests eat freely. During the meal we engage in a simple liturgy based on our Weekly Rhythm:

Bless – as we gather we intentionally speak words of blessing and affirmation over each other.

Eat – we eat a shared meal, during which we break bread and drink wine to remember Christ’s death for us.

Listen – we provide a period for reflection, meditation and listening to the voice of God.

Learn – we gather around the Scriptures and learn together, discussing issues that confront our world.

Sent – one person each week shares about how they spend their week, how they image or shadow God in that context and the ways they sense God’s calling in their daily work.
