Community Rhythms
Join us in weekly, monthly and seasonal rhythms where we practice doing theology from below, remember our shared vocation and induct each other into our collective humanity.
We follow the three-year Revised Common Lectionary cycle. We are currently in Ordinary Time, Year C:
Daily Prayer
We invite you to give yourself the gift of 10 minutes each day to ground yourself in prayer. This week, the call to prayer comes from the Street Psalms Centering Prayer:
Come, Holy Spirit, wild and free. Do as you please. Shine your light on me that I might see things as they are, not as I am. Free me to act in your name with courage, creativity, and compassion.
Weekly Gospel Lectionary Resources
Our lectionary resources are rooted in perspectives “from below” that embrace abundance and peacemaking. Each week, we offer the gospel text, context, question, community reflections, homily from James Alison, a Girardian reflection, poetry, prayer, and devotionals.
This Week's Lectionary:
Proper 7 (12) – Year C
Welcome to the Second Sunday after Pentecost. This week, Jesus meets a man tormented by a legion of demons — naked, chained, isolated, crying out among the tombs. His suffering is undeniable, and his healing is dramatic. But what if the real sickness wasn’t just in the man?…
Weekly Preaching Peace Table
The Preaching Peace Initiative is designed for leaders who are exploring together what it means to teach and preach a liberating Gospel of peace in their city. We currently have two models of Preaching Peace Tables that are open source and available to anyone who wants to develop their own expression: Citywide Table and Church/Ministry Table. Learn more about hosting your own table here.
Street Psalms hosts a weekly table for leaders who facilitate Preaching Peace Tables (or are interested in starting a Table). We gather around the gospel lectionary text to practice doing theology from below. All are welcome to join.

Monthly Commons Gathering
A monthly service hosted by and for the ordained community, dedicated to remembering our common call to develop incarnational leaders for the sake of the city and the most vulnerable. This service seeks to cultivate community and pathways to formational opportunities, and is open to anyone who wishes to attend. The Commons is on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
