Antiracism Committee Monthly Meeting

The COS Antiracism Committee meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm. They were tasked with identifying, disrupting and dismantling racism within ourselves, as a congregation, and in the community at large.

Sunday Forum: Being Christian

Beginning September 13, join us in the conference room at 9 am for a three-week study based on Being Christian: Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, Prayer by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. This pithy but theologically rich book opens up four foundational concepts of Christian identity. We will discuss the first two chapters, "Baptism" and "Bible", on September 13. A discussion of "Eucharist" will follow on September 20, and we'll address "Prayer" on September 27.

Grief Groups at COS

Please contact Susan Watts if you are interested in joining any of these groups or would like more information.

Midweek Eucharist Service | Tuesdays, 12:15pm

Contemplative Prayer Group | Thursdays, 12:15p

Each Thursday this group gathers to explore centering prayer practices from centering prayer to lectio divina; the examine to the rosary. This is a wonderful opportunity to pause during a busy week and engage with silence and stillness.

All are welcome.

Witness Wednesdays | Wednesdays, 12:15pm

Gather weekly as a public sign of Christ's love in a time of great hardship. Episcopalians and friends will meet each Wednesday at noon in Federal Plaza on Dearborn, between Jackson and Adams (near the big red Calder sculpture), to pray for justice, mercy, and the dignity of all people. Being communal prayer, no signs or other materials are necessary, just a willingness to stand in solidarity with those who are hurting. All are welcome.

Monthly Evening Eucharist | 2nd Tuesdays

All are welcome to join us for our Monthly Evening Eucharist with healing prayers, offered on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm. This is a simple, spoken service with anointing prayers for anyone who wishes to receive them.
