When we gather with the intention of creating sacred community, the way we come together may look different each time. It might be a small study group, a dinner with neighbors, a family devotion, or a youth group event. Whatever the gathering, people encounter the Divine in unique ways.
What It Offers
The resources here are organized into four areas, each reflecting a different way people experience the Divine.
LEARN: Discover wisdom and insight through study, and the spoken or written word.
LOVE: Experience connection through story, sharing, and authentic relationships.
LISTEN: Deepen your spiritual life through contemplation, reflection, and spiritual practices.
LIVE: Embody compassion and justice through service and care for others.
As you plan your gathering, choose from one or more of these areas to create a meaningful experience for your group. Brief templates are provided below as starting points and can be adapted to meet your group’s unique needs.
