You’re invited to the table.
Our Gather series offers a one-of-kind immersive experience designed to foster theological exploration and guided conversations around a catered artisanal meal. When we look to scripture, we see a resounding theme of the life of Jesus: sharing joyful and intimate meals with his disciples, followers, and friends in order to impart his divine wisdom and boundless love. Our Gather events happen throughout the year and are formed around the flow of the Church year, offering a unique and enriching way to observe the life of Jesus and purposes of God, along with our own spiritual rhythms.
Upcoming Gather Events
HIDDEN PRESENCE: Reflecting on Jesus' Ascension
Sunday, June 1, 2025, 6-7:30pm
What does it mean for the world that Jesus ascended – in bodily form – into the presence of God 40 days after his resurrection? Join Shari for an evening of reflection on the pivotal event of Jesus' Ascension. Explore the significance of this "hinge" moment, not as a distant historical event, but as a call to be Christ's witnesses in the world today. Through study and conversation, we'll consider how Jesus' "hidden presence" (Acts 1:9) empowers us to live and move for the sake of the world. Enjoy tapas appetizers, beverages, and engaging discussion with new and old friends.

What can I expect from Gather events?
-
The Church year is an ancient discipline for arranging the life of Christ followers. It moves through the themes of Anticipation, Hope, Transcendence, Lament, Redemption, Easter Tide, Birth of the Church and Ordinary Time. Our “Gather” series will follow these themes as we enter the sacred stories of Scripture and share a meal with both new and old friends, inviting Christ to sit among us as our spiritual host and honored guest.
-
The purpose of these gatherings is to hear Scripture in a creative, and possibly new, way. After a short story from Scripture we will have a shared, casual reflection and discussion. This is not a gathering to “explain” Scripture as much as to “discover” Scripture. For both the initiated and uninitiated, the purposes of God are new everyday and should be entered with curiosity and expectation.
-
Dinner will be catered by one of the fabulous local restaurants in Stevensville. An attempt will be made to thematically align the menu with the Church year.
