This is the pace of our gathering:
- Dinner: 5 PM
- Youth Video: 5:30-5:45 PM
- Coffee & Dessert: 5:45 PM
- Session starts: 6 PM
- Session ends: 7-7:15 PM
Our Practicing the Way course begins with dinner. We understand visiting might feel like you’re crashing someone’s dinner party. But don’t worry – you’re not. We would love to have you join us! If you would prefer to join only for the session, arrive for coffee and dessert at 5:45.
Our Gathering Space
Here is more you can expect when you visit us:
Between 4:30-5 PM a few folks will arrive to get the meal ready and set up our space inside. When you arrive, enter through the front doors. From the lobby go down the left hallway. Our gathering space is on the right.
We begin dinner with a mealtime prayer at 5 PM. Our session facilitators plan the meal, so just come!
Between 5:30-5:45 PM we play an engaging video for our young people. The whole group watches together. At the end of the video someone may lead our group in singing. We are led by whatever instrumental or leadership gifts we have. Christians have been singing together since the first century. There are many ways we experience the music, and we welcome them all. Some stand and some sit. Some sing out loud, while others listen and think about the words.
The week’s session begins at 6 PM.
You may choose to arrive at 5 or between 5:45-6 PM. Our goal is to conclude between 7-7:15 pm, but those who need to leave early are free to do so. Those who can stick around to chat, help clean up, or take leftovers are appreciated!
The weekly gathering of Jesus’ people, the church, has always been about growing in our knowledge and practice of the teachings of Jesus, remembering what he did for us, building each other up in Jesus-shaped love, and partnering with each other to practice that love with our neighbors (Acts 2:42). That’s really all our gatherings are about.
