Happenings + Events
Our events are a time for students and young adults to come together and relax with others who share our faith. Anyone is welcome to come out and join us for a few minutes or a couple hours, whatever your schedule allows. And as a bonus most of our events are accompanied by a hot meal.
EVENTS
Weekly and monthly events cycle through a handful of core activities with other special events occurring throughout the year. For an up-to-date schedule of events take a look at our weekly newsletter.
There is already a new energy in the neighborhood; the new term is almost here! Students (from all area campuses) are invited to mark their calendars and join us for the 2nd Annual Progressive Faith Progressive Dinner! We'll meet at St. Mary's at Penn (3916 Locust Walk) for appetizers, then head over to the CA and TAB (3700 Chestnut St.) for dinner, concluding with dessert at UniLu. Contact Pastor Meagan if you have any questions or to RSVP.
Mark your calendars and save the date! Our annual Welcome Back Worship, Backpack Blessing, and Potluck Picnic will be Sunday, September 7th. Worship will begin at 10.30 AM and will include a blessing of backpacks and a litany to welcome to the academic year, followed by the potluck picnic. All are invited to bring a bag to bless and a dish to share as we welcome students back to the neighborhood!
Mark your calendars and save the dates for Night Church all fall! Join us at 5.00 PM the first Sunday of each month for a contemplative, creative Taize worship, led by amazing musicians, followed by a simple supper. All are welcome!
