In this program participants will:

  • Share our experiences of gathered meetings;
  • Discuss the history of the gathered meeting and its current state in our meetings;
  • Explore together these questions:
    • What is a gathered meeting?
    • How do you know whether a meeting has been gathered?
    • Why is a gathered meeting important?
    • How can we foster gathered meetings – as individuals and meetings?
    • What challenges and opportunities do we find in participating in meeting for worship online?
    • What role does vocal ministry play in nurturing a gathered meeting?

Together, we will come away better prepared to help create opportunities for our home meetings to experience being gathered.
