Canterbury at Cal

Each week we gather at the chapel for a gourmet latin inspired dinner prepared by our chef Russell Bass.  We follow dinner with a contemplative time of prayer and Holy Communion in the chapel.  We use the songs of Taizé to structure our liturgy.  All are welcome to join and friends are always strongly encouraged!  See you there.

This week, instead of having Taco Thursday at the chapel we will be heading over to Grace Cathedral for the celebration of the Bishop’s 10th anniversary of consecration as a bishop.  There will be a festival evensong (evening prayer) service at the cathedral with choir and then followed by a reception on the cathedral plaza with food and celebration.

You can meet at the chapel or at the downtown Berkeley bart station preferably by 4:15.

Thursday night we add to our usual joyous gathering with a visit by Bishop Marc of the Diocese of California (Episcopal).  Bishop Marc is joining us for the Feast of the Presentation or Candlemas.  We will have a festive dinner followed by a blessing of candles, contemplative prayer and Eucharist.  Please join us and, as always, bring a friend.

The semester is underway and so are Thursday nights!

We will have another gourmet meal prepared by our chef at 6:30.  Following dinner we will have a contemplative prayer service in the tradition of the Taizé community.  Join us for food, community and peace.

CS Lewis’, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, is showing this weekend only at Herbst Theater, San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. It’s a “provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from the demon’s point of view”. Some of us are planning on going to the Sunday matinee at 3:00pm, and we’d love for you to join! For more information, visit: http://www.screwtapeonstage.com/. Please contact Tom or Dawn if you’re interested in joining. Financial assistance is available to those who need it.

Join us on December 6th for some drinks and riveting discussion.  Episcopal Bishop Marc Andrus and his wife, Sheila, will be our guest speakers this week as we talk about the Incarnation and the Occupy movement.  Do they relate?  And how can we play a role, as Christians, in all of this?

6:00pm at Bobby G’s Pizzeria on University Ave, near Downtown Berkeley BART station.  Hope to see you there!

This week join us for an exciting and meaningful evening of dinner, conversation, camaraderie and prayer.  We will have a latin inspired gourmet meal prepared by our chef and then a peaceful evening worship service.  Bring a friend.

This week our Thursday night service will take on a tone of remembrance as we mark the move to the season of dark from the season of light.  This is a time to celebrate the lives of those beloved by us and to join in communion with the “great cloud of witnesses” who have gone before.

Bring a picture or token of remembrance for your loved ones.  As always we begin with dinner at 6:30 followed by worship.

Last week we had a great gathering for our first dinner and worship of the semester.  This week we will continue the momentum.  Meet at the Chapel at 6:30 for gathering time and dinner.  We will conclude with a peaceful and meaningful worship.  See you there!
