As we gather on Zoom, we ritually embody our faith life and community as ministers to and with one another. We also gather to reimagine and liberate scripture in ways that help us embody our faith so that our diverse selves and contexts become a living part of the radical love and justice of the Gospel.

✨ Join us for the Gathering this Sunday evening, January 21st, on Zoom from 6 to 7 pm MT!

This will be our first Gathering of the year, and we will gather together at our new day and time.

We're reflecting on what it means to work towards unity with love amongst global Christians. Our scripture will come from Luke 10:25-37, and for the Relational Storytelling Ritual, we will invite you to share a story about a time when you received love from, or showed love to, someone unexpected or in an unexpected way.

All are welcome; we hope to see you there.

Our time together will include:

• Gathering Music: Music to gather and center us into our time and purpose together.

• Opening Ritual: A time for community-building guided reflection and sharing.

• Divine Reading (Lectio Divina): A Spirit-led, meditative scripture reading using multiple different interpretations and/or Gospel versions of the day’s scripture to deepen our living understanding of the scripture, its interpretations, and meaning for us today.

• Relational Reflection & Prayer: We reflect on the day’s scripture and theme together and engage provided reflection questions as a way of integrating the living scripture into our lives, relationships, contexts, and faith community. We also use this time to offer personal and communal pray requests.

• Communion: A time to commune over a small meal with one another and sharing in Our Creator’s Prayer (Juniper Formation's version).
