  • Easter Morning Eucharist

    Meditation Room

    On Easter morning, we’ll gather for something old and new again — our first Eucharistic liturgy in many years. This will be a simple, contemplative service rooted in our emerging wisdom sensibilities, but woven with a few deeply traditional elements as well. At the heart of the service, you’ll notice that the prayer is not in English. That’s intentional. This isn’t a doctrine to analyze — it’s a mystery to enter. A practice to experience. An encounter to move us. A moment to rest in sacred presence together. All are welcome. And because the contemplative room has limited space — and because we want to make sure we have enough bread (with gluten-free options) and wine (non-alcoholic) for everyone — we’re asking you to register ahead of time. If you’d like to volunteer to help with this service in some very simple ways, please indicate this in your registration. If you can’t make the 9am service, don’t worry — during our main Easter gathering in the chapel at 10am, we’ll also offer a simple, totally optional communion moment that’s less liturgical in feel but equally open to all. We invite you to join us for one or both reimagined expressions of this […]

  • Artsy Group Meetup

    Artsy Group Meetup
    Chapel or Downstairs Area

    Come join our creative collective that meets every second Saturday. If you are a little artsy? Or you just like art. It doesn't matter if you have never been creative—come anyway. It has been proven that participating in the arts in any form will rewire your brain to help you become less stressed as well as healthier and happier. This is an informal gathering for a few hours on a Saturday where folks can work on any sort of "artsy" project they'd like. Some months there will be a theme, which will be explained in the "Chat" for this group. BYO supplies (or use some of the church's supply). You may also bring a snack for yourself or anything to share. Supervised children are welcome. We will meet in the Chapel or Teen Room (leader will post a note if it's down in the Teen Room). If you're ready to get into a flow state while connecting with others, this Artsy Group is for you! RSVP

  • ONE Wake Internal Assembly

    Baptist Grove Church

    Housing affordability in Wake County has reached a crisis level. This crisis is not inevitable—it is the result of political choices, and it can be addressed with political will. But that will only emerge if our leaders see that the public is organized, engaged, and demanding action. This gathering will begin as an internal ONE Wake assembly, where members will ratify proposals and plans for the 2026 organizing cycle. During the second hour, we will transition into a public Accountability Assembly with Raleigh elected officials. RSVP on ONE Wake site here

  • Family Dynamics Group Meet-Up

    Meditation Room

  • Drop-In Self-Awareness

    Drop-In Self-Awareness
    Room 209

    When we observe ourselves feeling and reacting from unsettling emotions like anger, sadness, and fear, the self awareness practice helps us investigate so we can release stories and patterns that no longer serve our wellbeing and so we can embrace ourselves and others with more compassion and grace. If you want to learn more about the self awareness practice, please drop in and observe 2 members of the Common Thread Community do this practice together. No prior knowledge or experience is required and everyone is invited and welcome. We will meet in Room 209. Feel free to bring your lunch/snack if desired.
