Weekly Prayer Service

Sundays @ 5:30pm SLT (5:30pm Pacific / 6:30pm Mountain / 7:30pm Central / 8:30pm Eastern)
Approx. 45 minutes, followed by fellowship and conversation in the skybox for anyone who can stay longer.
Format based on the Book of Common Worship, and occasionally with elements from Taize.
This group will more fully explore developing a full-fledged worship service in Second Life.

Occasional Conversation Groups

Sometimes we meet on Tuesday nights @ 6:00pm SLT (6:00pm Pacific / 7:00pm Mountain / 8:00pm Central / 9:00pm Eastern)
Unstructured Leadership -- come with something to talk about, and we'll follow the Spirit's lead.
We explore our call to service, evangelism, and education.
When we go elsewhere we'll leave a sign in front of our building with a link to our location.

Other Gatherings

Members of our community are encouraged to support and participate whenever possible in the gatherings of our Sister Ministries in Second Life.
