Weekly Prayer Service

  • Sundays @ 7pm SLT (7pm Pacific / 8pm Mountain / 9pm Central / 10pm 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.

Weekly Conversation Group

  • Wednesday nights @ 7:30pm SLT (7pm Pacific / 8pm Mountain / 9pm Central / 10pm Eastern)
  • Approx 1 hour, although in the past, discussion has continued into 2 hours (leave when you have to).
  • Meets in member "homes" in various places each week - but a sign with a link to the location will always be posted in front of our regular meeting house.
  • Unstructured Leadership -- come with something to talk about, and we'll follow the Spirit's lead.
  • This group will more fully explore our call to service, evangelism, and education.

Monthly SL Orientation Class

  • Meets the 2nd Saturday of each month to teach basics of Second Life: getting around, clothes, finding things, etc.
  • Leadership (from our SL veterans) varies from month to month, and so the time will, too -- but will always be advertised.
  • Field trips are part of the class, but we will generally start out at the 1PCSL Meeting House on Xenia to cover a few basics with those who are really new.

Monthly SL Project Teams

  • To be organized by interest and as needed, meeting on a monthly basis
  • Once organized, will meet either Tuesday or Friday nights @ 7pm SLT
  • Some Projects we'd like to get started (and could use your help) include:
    • Planning/Organizing a "Meet the Moderator Night" with Bruce Reyes-Chow
    • Planning/Organizing for SL General Assembly 2010 Event
    • Planning Service Project Events to raise awareness and/or funds for various causes
    • Planning/Organizing Ecumenical gatherings and/or events with other groups and causes in SL
    • 1PCSL Leadership meetings
