POTLUCK SUNDAY!

Sunday service at 4pm, potluck at 5:30pm: bring a dish to share or just bring yourself and your appetite.

When we gather around the table, eat, and share stories, we get to know each other in real and meaningful ways. It is in this kind of community that we can be known and loved and where lives are transformed in love.

Gratitude October aka Gratitober is here! All month we will be working on practices of gratitude as a subversive art while learning about how to hold gratitude alongside all the everything going on in the world right now.

Weekly services: Sundays at 4 pm (they can be accessed online HERE - Zoom ID 810 1877 0234).

Our services are like church…but weird. Following monthly themes, we come together for about an hour for prayer, music, readings, reflection, and a time of discussion. There are no requirements or barriers to participating in Weird Church and all are truly welcome regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status etc.

Children and Youth are celebrated and welcomed (with all the wiggles and noise and love they bring along with them) - programming will be available for those who would prefer thematic learning targeted toward a younger age range (roughly 6-12 but all are welcome).

Landfill Harmonic follows the Recycled Orchestra. An unlikely orchestra made out of recycled trash. As this group takes its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world, we follow the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum. Landfill Harmonic is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music, which also highlights two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution.

Doors open at 6:30, entrance by donation (Bring cash for popcorn and snacks).

Movie starts at 7pm

Please reach out if you would like to volunteer!

Weird Church and Adventure Daycare are at it again, for the 5th Annual Chili Fest!  Join us to taste the best chili Cumberland has to offer and decide who will be crowned 2025 Chili Champion.  Music, crafts, games, magician, a bouncy castle and more make for a fun filled party for all ages.

All levels welcome to this 30 minute mid-day guided meditation practice.  No registration required for this drop-in, by donation offering. 

Alternating Tuesdays at 7pm: Queerly Beloved

A confidential and safe space to explore the intersection of queerness and Christianity with loads of room for unpacking, questions, sharing and healing.  

please note:

Queerly Beloved is intended for those who identify as queer (or questioning) and not for allies. Together we will explore the unique intersection of gender, sexuality, and Christianity in a way that is fully affirming of the fullness of what it means to be human.

This group is for Queer folx who are wondering about Christianity, Christians who are exploring their queerness, and those who have been living in the world as out loud 2SLGBTQIA+ Christians for decades!

Due to the vulnerable nature of this exploration, we ask that allies not attend this specific space - there will be room for you in other events in the future, we promise! We know that not everyone in this group will be “out” in their daily lives, so confidentiality is of utmost concern for all who participate.

Gratitude invites us into reciprocity with the land, allowing us to lean towards right relationship. The journey starts at Weird Church and we will hike together up Davis Main to the Perseverance Potholes   

“Go out in the woods, go out. if you don’t go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.”
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes “Women Who Run with the Wolves”

Gratitude invites us into reciprocity with the land, allowing us to lean towards right relationship. 

Join us for a meaningful journey into reciprocity with the land, beginning at Weird Church. This guided hike will lead us up Davis Main to the stunning Perseverance Potholes, a place ideal for quiet contemplation and profound connection.

What to Expect:

Our time at the Perseverance Potholes will be dedicated to rest, reflection, and deep listening. We will collectively engage in practices that foster gratitude for the natural world and encourage us to lean towards a more harmonious relationship with the environment around us. This is an opportunity to slow down, observe, and connect with the rhythms of the land.

What to Bring:

To ensure your comfort and enjoyment, we suggest bringing the following items:

• Something to sit on: A small mat or cushion will make your time for reflection more comfortable.

• A journal or art workbook: Capture your thoughts, observations, and creative impulses as you engage with the natural surroundings.

• Snacks: Fuel your body for the hike and your time of contemplation.

• Water: Stay hydrated throughout the journey.

• Weather-appropriate clothing and footwear: Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes suitable for hiking to ensure you are comfortable regardless of the conditions.

We look forward to sharing this enriching experience with you as we collectively deepen our relationship with the land.

All levels welcome to this 30 minute mid-day guided meditation practice.  No registration required for this drop-in, by donation offering. 

Alternating Tuesdays at 7pm: The Bible is Weird

Have you read it?

The Bible is weird, and misused, and misunderstood and beautiful and terrible.

Join Ingrid and others as we unpack, dissect, learn and discuss parts of the Bible, Weird Church style.

As with all things Weird Church, we celebrate a diversity of perspectives and encourage folks from all religions, races, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, sexualities and families to join us.
