Take a look at the information below for everything related to this season, and we look forward to worshipping with you soon.

Special Events
Eucharist Church, in collaboration with Salt Cellar Arts, is thrilled to host Joshua Luke Smith with special guest Jesse Bout.
Joshua is a creative powerhouse at the intersection of poetry, music and prayer. He has travelled and performed extensively but carries a special torch for Hamilton and for the Eucharist congregation (Joshua is from London, England but his wife is from the area and a few years back when, they were living with her family, they worshipped with our congregation).
Whether you’re a fan of his words or simply looking for some spiritual encouragement, this concert is a great opportunity to be surrounded by beauty and refuelled by hope.

Tuesdays
After School Programming: Godly Play, Youth Bible Study, and Parent’s Circle
Our After School Programming is currently on pause but will start again on Tuesday October 14.
Godly Play aims to teach the basics of the biblical story in an interactive and playful way. It is hosted by our Kid’s Coordinator Tash Crozier and some volunteer counsellors. Godly Play is designed for kids from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 4.
Kids in Grade 5 can decide to stay in Godly Play or try “moving up” to Youth Bible Study.
Youth Bible Study is a space to dig deeper into our faith, play games, and learn about being God’s people. It is hosted by Pastor Kevin and some volunteer counsellors. YBS is aimed for youth in Grades 5-8.
Parental Conversations are an open space for parents to talk about what it means to raise kids in the way of Christ. It runs at the same time as GP and YBS and is hosted by Pastor-Emeritus Jill Trites.
Email Tash about Godly Play and Kevin about Youth Bible Study if you are interested in registering your child.

Wednesdays
Morning Prayer: Learning to Pray Together
A simple liturgy, based off the book of Common Prayer, for those who would like to seek God early in the morning.
This prayer time is part of the ecumenical prayer network The Community of Common Prayer.
Wednesdays, 6:30-7am
Compline: Psalms and Silence to Complete the Day
We gather in darkness to chant psalms and sit in silence. This service can be as anonymous as you want, though it’s a very accessible way to enter into chanting (you sort of learn as you go, but we use very simple tones)
Click here for an example of how this Psalter sounds when chanted (but our services are… darker).
Enter in stillness. Sit where you want. Pray as you’re able.
Wednesdays, 9-10pm
Thursdays
Village: Parent & Tot Drop In
We all need a Village. Drop in with your little’s for a time of conversation, connection, and coffee. Shortly after 10am parents will engage in a more intentional conversation led by one of our pastors, and the little’s will be invited to listen to a few storybooks (they are welcome to wander between the storybook and their parents).

Connect on Facebook
If you consider Eucharist your church home, we invite you to join our Congregational Facebook group, where people share prayer requests, news from the city, and all sorts of other goodness. We recommend intentionally checking it every few days. Don’t rely on notifications as they are pretty inconsistent.
Give Online
We are so grateful for those who are a part of our church and give faithfully to God’s work among us.
