THE GATHERING
6pm Youth Hall (3rd Sundays)
A small group of individuals who meets together. They begin by sharing a pot luck supper of which the main dish is provided. First time attendees are considered as guests at the meal. Conversation during the meal centers around their spiritual journey as they share their struggles and blessings. The group is learning about personal worship and deepening their spiritual journey through studying and practicing the spiritual disciplines like prayer, worship, fasting, journaling, silence and more. If you are looking for a small group and a deeper spiritual journey this group would be a good match for you.
