rhythm
Most of what shapes our community happens in the unscheduled times. However, here’s a snapshot of the regular rhythm of life at Missio Dei:
DAILY
We sometimes pray from our breviary (book of prayer for mornings and evenings).
WEEKLY
Sunday evenings at 5pm, we gather together to eat together, pray, engage scripture, discuss, and sing. We meet at Clare House (2717 8th Street S in Minneapolis), one of our community houses.
Monday is a day when we open up our houses for people to come pray with us. Clare House hosts Lauds at 9am and Sattler House hosts Vespers at 10pm.
Wednesday nights at 6:30pm we have an open meal. That night we make a large meal and welcome everyone to dinner. Our Wednesday night meal is at Sattler House (3312 31st Ave S in Minneapolis).
Thursdays at 6:30pm apprentices gather to discuss the things they’ve been learning and work on their apprenticeship projects.
Saturdays at 9:30am we have our community-wide breakfast.
On Saturdays from noon to 4pm, we have our Hospitality Train. The idea is simple: we load up our bike trailers and bring fresh ingredients and high quality portable cooking equipment to feed people good food. Along with food preparers/servers, we are sometimes joined by musicians who will play as we serve food. A variety of people from all over the neighborhood come to our weekly feeding for good food and friendly conversation. During the winter months, we close the Hospitality Train to focus on other (indoor) projects.
