low-agenda, informal gatherings for the summer 2026

Be creative in the park! Biweekly creative hangouts

Remaining Wilsonville gatherings for 2026: Saturdays, Oct. 3 and 17, 1 to 3 p.m. 

Weather policy (revised Sept. 25): A gathering will automatically be cancelled if the projected probability (70 percent or higher) of hourly rainfall at the time of the gathering exceeds 0.2 inches. 

Are you a neurodivergent person who does not "fit in" with conventional faith communities, no matter how hard you've tried? Or, are you just looking for another intentional time and space for a community, in addition to your regular church involvement? Infinitus will be holding biweekly informal gatherings/meetups during the summer of 2026, starting in July and through September.   

To accommodate different scheduling needs, there will be Wednesday afternoon gatherings and Sunday afternoon gatherings. These experimental meetups are very light on agenda, quite open-ended, and mainly designed to inspire conversations and friendship.

This is ideal for those who just need "body doubles" or excuses to get outside, as well as for those who are seeking low-pressure, low-key opportunities to make new friends. Bring your own creative projects (art, craft, writing, etc.) and supplies. 

Note 1: These groups are not worship gatherings, Bible studies, or discussion groups, but if you are interested in those, we can discuss how we might do those in the future (maybe in the fall, after this summer series is over). Your input is greatly appreciated! 

Note 2: You are welcome to these summer gatherings regardless of your faith traditions, religious affiliations, or lack thereof.

Accessibility notes: The location and its backup are wheelchair-accessible and have ADA-compliant public restroom facilities. As these will take place at public parks, there may be some background noise, including screaming children/babies and motor vehicles (please bring noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs if you need them). All locations are near a public transit stop. 

Why "creative hangouts"? From our values statement: We are building "a center of culture-making, social transformation, and cultivation of the parallel social institutions and intermediary communities" (emphasis mine). Let's make a new culture together!
