WEEKLY VESPERS
We typically gather for Vespers on Sunday afternoons at 3:30pm at MatchBOX Coworking Studio in downtown Lafayette. But you might also find us gathering in other spaces, at different times, or even outdoors! Check our Upcoming Events on the homepage for the latest details on when and where we'll meet next.
Vespers is traditionally associated with evening prayer and is part of the liturgy of the hours dating back to the Middle Ages. For A WORK IN PROGRESS, Vespers denotes a time for prayer and meaningful conversation within the context of faith, incorporating sacred rhythms and texts. While our roots are in the Christian tradition, we welcome all persons regardless of their faith tradition or ways they connect to their higher power.
Our gatherings take many forms, from meaningful conversations around a campfire (with s'mores, of course!) to shared meals and baptismal services along the shoreline. Whether we're in a backyard, a park, or a retreat center, we embrace opportunities to connect with one another and the world around us.
Our conversations are just as varied as our gathering places. We explore topics ranging from racism and reconciliation to nonjudgment and living authentically, drawing on biblical perspectives alongside the insights of theologians, philosophers, scientists, and poets. We also occasionally explore sacred texts and teachings from other religious traditions, making room for different perspectives and thoughtful discussion.
