The Well at Springfield

We are an inclusive community of faith practicing the way of Jesus together. Right now, our Sunday gatherings happen on the back patio of Hyperion Brewing Co.

We do move around quite a bit and gather in a variety of community spaces, so it's best to subscribe to our weekly updates to keep up with the latest happenings.

Join us tomorrow for our upcoming Community Cleanup: Bishop Classic Motors

We will meet at Bishop Classic Motors (305 E 1st Street) at 9AM and clean up the southeast quadrant of Springfield. Trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers will be provided—just show up ready to help. Late arrivals are welcome, and any amount of time you can give is appreciated. A very special thanks our volunteer partners, The Well at Springfield, and to TerraWise Homes for sponsoring our 2026 Community Cleanups.

Hope to see you all there!

...we are carried in the cradle-board of Mother Earth. How can we ever reciprocate such a wealth of care? Knowing that she carries us, could we shoulder a burden for her?

—Robin Wall Kimmerer, from Braiding Sweetgrass

Each month we gather for Church in the Wild, not just to connect with God & one another in nature, but to reconnect with our sacred responsibility to care for the earth.

Our Church in the Wild gathering this weekend is happening on Saturday (not Sunday). We are teaming up with Springfield Preservation and Revitalization (SPAR) to help host their monthly community clean up. These cleanups are a vital part of litter reduction here - they average the removal of 1500lbs of trash from public streets per month!

We'll meet at Bishop Classic Motors (305 E 1st St, also location of Overalls Farm 2) at 9 am and be sent out to clean up the SW quadrant of the neighborhood, return around 10:30 to clean up and finish by 11 am.

Afterward, we are invited to Charlie & Linda's for a post-clean-up brunch. They're providing homemade pancakes, and we can bring something to add (or not!).

There will be no gathering this Sunday, July 26th.

The kale seed
I am planting in the soil
feels like throwing a pebble
at a panzer tank. It is
a tiny act of defiance
against the oil-dependent
insanity of our food chain
but still I must kneel
in the dirt and do what good
I can imagine
like forgiving someone who believes
they did nothing wrong
like a prayer for the dying

-David Gate, "The Good We can Imagine" (from A Rebellion of Care)

We are back ato 120 E 8th Street (home of Sanctuary on 8th Street) this morning, and we'll be listening to scripture, Spirit, seeds, birds, and each other. The question we keep coming back to is:

How are we being invited to know another way of being here?

We begin coming together over coffee & conversation at 10 a.m., then move into our time of scripture, story, prayer & reflection at 10:30 a.m. As always, feel free to bring something breakfast-y to share.

Come full of wonder or feeling weighed down. Come longing for community or for a new direction. Come as you are - we look forward to welcoming you.

It's the third Friday, which means it's time for our monthly Greens & Beans gathering on Overalls Farm Three (125 E 7th Street) TONIGHT at 6-8 p.m.

In the spirit of July 4th, we'll share food, conversation & listen to local history through the stories of our elders from Hansontown (the historic neighborhood in Jax torn down in the 40s-70 in the name of 'urban renewal).

Water slide for the kids, chef-inspired main dish for all. Bring a dish to share if you're able.

We had a wonderful time of connection and learning with Elizabeth Filippelli, Conservation Director of the Duval Audubon Society this past Sunday. We learned how we can be better neighbors to our birds, especially during bird migration.

You can learn more and sign the Lights Out Northeast Florida pledge by following the link in the comments.

Thank you for spending time with us, Elizabeth, and for your passionate advocacy!

Many birds fall without much more than a passing notice — unless, that is, we decide to pay attention.

—Ragan Sutterfield, Watch & Wonder: Birding as a Spiritual Practice

Each month (usually the 4th Sundays), we intentionally set aside time to connect with God & one another through nature. We have explored trails, parks & beaches, hosted farm work days, and even kayaked together.

As we continue our summer "Consider the Birds" series, our June Church in the Wild will happen tomorrow morning at Hanna Park (Pavilion 4), and will be facilitated by Elizabeth Filippelli, Conservation Director of the Duval Audubon Society. She will guide us in a time of connection with birds, as well as learning how we can be good advocates of our feathered friends.

We begin gathering at 10 a.m. and start our time together at 10:30 am. Do note that there is a $5 park entrance fee. Feel free to bring beach gear and stick around afterward to enjoy the park!

Tonight's Greens and Beans is canceled due to weather. We look forward to hosting again in July!

Uganda continues to welcome a disproportionate amount of the world's refugees, and Amani Sasa continues to be a source of safety, belonging, holistic care, and opportunities for empowerment there.

Among their recent graduates was a young mother who has survived unimaginable trauma, yet through Amani Sasa, has been able to experience joy again. Her story is a reminder that even in the midst of profound hardship, joy, healing, and new beginnings are possible.

We are grateful to partner with Amani Sasa as they continue to walk alongside vulnerable refugees. Sharing dinner and conversation last night with Founder and Co-Director, Missy Ward Angalla, was such a fun & meaningful reminder of their continued(& growing!) impact.

Happy June, Happy Summer Break & Happy Pride! 💕🌈

Because we move around a bit, the best way to keep up with all that's happening through The Well is to subscribe to our weekly updates & check our website's upcoming events (link in comments). During the summer months, our regular Sunday gatherings will happen inside 120 E. 8th Street, and our Church in the Wild locations vary, but tend to happen near water.

We look forward to seeing you whenever & however you connect with us.
