Sunday Worship
St. Brigid’s offers weekly worship on Sunday evenings at 5pm at Oceanside Sanctuary Church (204 S Freeman St, Oceanside CA 92054). We’re excited to introduce a new way of worshipping at these services, combining the informal and conversational nature of our Dinner Church services with the beauty of the Holy Eucharist. Services will include either a full meal (on 1st and 3rd Sundays) or light refreshments (other Sundays).
Services begin at 5pm and are held in the cafe room at Oceanside Sanctuary, located in downtown Oceanside at 204 S Freeman St, Oceanside CA 92054. Parking is available in the church parking lot, or free street parking is also available.
On Dinner Church Sundays, feel free to bring something to share for the potluck, or just bring yourself! Also please contact us if you have any dietary restrictions or other accessbility needs, and we will try to accomodate them as best we can.
Resonance
Resonance is a free, all-ages event at St. Brigid’s that builds community through creative expression.
It’s a space for all creatively-inclined people — artists, musicians, writers, and more — to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together.
Night Prayer on Zoom
Our Zoom Night Prayer service is a great way to end your day with peace and spiritual connection. We meet online every Wednesday evening at 6pm PST for a brief check-in and sharing time followed by a short, contemplative prayer service. Typically we alternate between the Compline liturgy in The Book of Common Prayer or the Night Prayer liturgy in A New Zealand Prayer Book.
All are welcome to join us, regardless of your faith background. You can access the service on Zoom by clicking the button below.
