When we gather with intention, worship becomes more than ritual. It becomes a living encounter with the Spirit moving among us and within us. When We Gather is a collection of creative gathering ideas for the Easter and Pentecost seasons, offered through Gathering Resources.
What It Offers
This resource is organized into four thematic areas, each reflecting a different way we experience resurrection, renewal, and the presence of the Holy Spirit in community. Whether you are planning for a family, small group, worship gathering, or full congregation, When We Gather helps shape meaningful experiences rooted in the energy of Easter and the fire of Pentecost.

Pentecost calls us into shared purpose and courageous witness.
