Rhythms of Sabbath & Rest | Continuing the Conversation
After the first message in our Rhythms of Connection sermon series on the topic Sabbath and Rest, we had many people express interest in having some space for more discussion and dialogue around this topic. So, we are facilitating a simple gathering for this on Thursday, October 1st at The Public House in Springfield at 7:00PM. This will not be a structured teaching time, but a space to simply come and talk together about the topic (e.g. a working theology of rest, the challenges of resting in our culture, ideas for sabbath practices, etc.) with other CitySalt folks. If you have any questions, email Pastor Aaron at aaron@citysalt.org.
Pastor Abby's Ordination
If you’ve spent any time at CitySalt Church in the last few years, you know what a blessing Abby Wilday is to our community. Over the years, Abby has overseen our kids’ church and camps, led and pastored our worship team in front and behind the scenes, taught us, guided us in creative activities to learn, love, and worship the Lord, and loved, encouraged, and prayed with many of you. On October 4th, during our regular service time, we are celebrating and making it official! Pastor Abby is being ordained as a minister in the Foursquare Church.
A pastor friend once said that ordaining someone as a pastor is giving a name to what someone is already doing. Abby has been pastoring most of her life. Now, she not only serves our congregation well, she is also a chaplain to at-risk young people in our greater Eugene community.
As part of our worship service on Sunday, October 4th, join our celebration as we pray for Abby and recognize and honor God’s call on her life.
This also coincides with our First Sunday Supper, so stay after service to enjoy a meal with family and friends. If you are able, plan to bring a food item to share.
CS Sunday Service
CitySalt gathers at The Box (661 E 19th Ave, Eugene, OR 97401) for a simple, yet intentional, time of worship through a combination of practices that have guided the church through the ages. We incorporate a variety of practices into our Sunday gatherings including music and song, prayer, studying the scriptures, reflection, discussion, art and fellowship.
First Sunday Supper
On the first Sunday of the month, everyone is invited to stick around for a potluck meal after service (we usually start dishing up around 5:40PM). This provides a time for us to connect informally as a community as we eat and talk around tables. If you are able, plan to bring a dish to share with the group.

Men’s Breakfast
Gentlemen, join Tim and Barry at 9:00am for a good time of fellowship and connection. They will be meeting at the IHOP at 3427 Gateway St, Springfield.
The goal of this regular monthly gathering is to get together around a meal, connect as men in different seasons of life, and learn from one another about walking in Christ.
Please RSVP with Tim Sorric at 541-221-3244.
The Orthodox Way Study
This Fall at CitySalt, we are taking time to explore six foundational ideas about God anchored in the Bible and early Christian tradition. As a guide in this series, we will be using the book The Orthodox Way by Kallistos Ware. This book, written by a brilliant scholar of Eastern Orthodoxy, has proven to be a solid and hopeful guide for many people searching to make sense of who the Christian God really is and how Jesus Christ has made God known. Rather than presenting attributes of God as dry, abstract doctrines, Ware frames theology as a living, experiential journey toward communion with a relational God in whom we live and move and have our being. With Ware’s book as a guide, we will explore these six core attributes of God:
God as Mystery
God as Trinity
God as Humanity
God as Creator
God as Spirit
God as Prayer
We will preach on these themes during our Sunday worship gatherings, and if you are interested in going further with these themes and discussing them with others, we are facilitating a weekly small group gathering on Thursday evenings throughout this series around these same themes. This will be a space to share a meal together and discuss the theme for the week based on material from the Sunday sermon and the corresponding chapter in Ware’s book. The small group will meet weekly for six weeks on Thursday evenings from approximately 6-8PM. We will plan to eat together for the first 45 minutes or so and then transition to a discussion of the theme for the week using Ware's book and the Sunday sermon as a launch point. Registratration is required to attend this group. You can find the registration and other details about the group here.
