Circles of Practice at Evergreen Presbyterian Church

We believe worship is not the only way to engage your Spirit, to connect with God, and commune with each other. We have several circles of practice here at Evergreen.

What is a circle of practice?  People who get together to practice their spirituality in a particular way.

At Evergreen we have a rhythm of life together that includes gathering to engage in spiritual practice. Worship is one circle, but not the central one. Dinner Church is another. Beer and Hymns a third, and so on. No one goes to everything. We don’t expect everyone to eventually end up in worship.

We believe people engage their spirituality in a multitude of ways, we affirm that diversity, and do not prioritize one over the other as we seek to nurture community, promote spiritual practice and define belonging in our church. Connect with a practice today.

We gather throughout the week for a variety of spiritual practices. The best way to stay up-to-date with the goings on at Evergreen is to sign up for our newsletter. You can subscribe at the bottom of this page.

Sunday worship

We gather together on Sundays at 11:00 am

This practice includes elements of traditional worship with song and scripture teaching, as well as moments for silence together and laughter with our children. Come early for coffee and snacks beginning at 10:30 a.m. We practice the ritual of communion the first Sunday of every month. Parking is available in the small lot behind the building and along Overton Park Ave. A nursery is provided for infants, babies and toddlers from 10:45 a.m. through 12:15 p.m. The room is just off the main gathering space, and parents are welcome to come and go from that space during worship as they need. Children of all ages are also welcome to remain with their parents in worship.

Some dress up and some dress down, come as you are.

MICAH CORE TEAM

MICAH (Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action and Hope) is a coalition of community and faith-based organizations joining together to give a more powerful voice for issues of justice in our city. Our current platform concentrates on three pillar issues, economic equity, education equity, and race & class equity in the justice system. We organize and speak to our community and its leaders, always seeking to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God." The purpose of MICAH is not to replace each congregation or community organization's efforts, but instead to amplify the voice and the impact by working together interdependently.

Members of the Core Team at Evergreen connect our community to the city-wide organization, and also take on some independent projects that promote justice.
