Recess at Downtown church

DOWNTOWN CHURCH has very few customs, but taking recess is one of them. We have hit pause for two full weeks during the summer (always around the 4th of July). During those two weeks, we do not gather together for worship at Central Energy. Instead, we do something different. We invite a friend to brunch or we choose to sleep in. We meet strangers at the playground. We take a road trip to explore a different town’s coffee shops and places of worship.

Recess is more than a break from worship. It’s a two week break from the operation of running the church. The church, which is an organization, requires rest. Creativity breeds in rest. DOWNTOWN CHURCH requires creativity. 

So, mark the dates on your calendar and don’t show up here on Sundays - July 6 + 13.
