Take a breath. Settle in. We are glad you are here with us at St. Matthias Episcopal Church. Our liturgy is intended to be a way for us all to rest in God’s love while you are here. We invite you to share all that is in your heart, soul, and mind with God, letting it rest in God’s care. We hope when you leave you will be refreshed and renewed.
As Jesus said: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burnt out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28 The Message translation
Outdoor Evensong Summer 2025
You are invited to join us at 5:00 pm every first Thursday of the month for an outdoor service to pause, rest from the demands of the day, sit outside while we pray, read a brief scripture passage, sing, and enjoy a brief meditation. It has been the practice of Christians for centuries to pause at the end of the day for prayer, and here at St. Matthias we combine the tradition of evening prayer with our love of being outside in such a beautiful place, where God is as present with us as when we are inside our lovely church building. We’d love for you to join us. Service is held outside on the
church yard next to the parking lot on 403 E Chicago Avenue in Minocqua.
Thursday August 1 at 5pm
Thursday September 5 at 5pm
Fun Summer Refreshments are offered after the service.
St. Matthias acknowledges that we are standing on the ancestral lands of the Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, who have been stewards of this land for centuries and respect the interconnected relationships among everything on this land. We acknowledge the many legacies of violence, boarding schools, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together today. We pay respect to their elders, past, present, and future.
