Sunday mornings 10 a.m.

  • We meet weekly as an ecumenical group (from multiple Christian traditions) to reflect on scripture and our faith journeys, share bread and cup, and seek restoration and renewal to continue in the work on justice and peacemaking. We celebrate our LGBTQ members and leaders and the beautiful diversity of humanity. Learn more about our core principles and practices.

Where the feast gathers

Our gatherings are like a living room, and sometimes they are one. Here’s where we gather:

  • Restoried Bookshop, 4613 N. Kedzie Ave, Chicago (map). Sundays at 10 a.m.
  • LaBagh Woods, for wild church outdoors on the last Sunday of each month.
  • Drake Gardens, 4643 N. Drake, for Gather Together community meals in Albany Park.
  • Ronora Lodge and Retreat Center in Watervliet, Michigan, for our annual retreat, November 20–22, 2026.

Please check our calendar for the most-updated information about where we’re gathering on a specific date.

What to expect

Our group is small and the atmosphere is like a living room. Each person is welcome to

  • participate in any parts of the service they wish, including by listening and thinking silently without speaking;
  • observe without partaking (for example, in the sharing of bread and cup);
  • do something with their hands—coloring affirming coloring book pages, crocheting, knitting, or similar crafts; and
  • dress casually—including pajamas.

Learn more about us.

Gather Together community meals

  • With our partner Gather Together, we host community meals in Albany Park. The most-recent one was Saturday September 26 in front of Drake Gardens, 4643 N. Drake, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The next is TBD.

Calendar

Retreat
