So we want to issue a NEW INVITATION that hopes to add some clarity about these gatherings: \nYou\, yes YOU\, are welcome and wanted here. Join these gatherings if you are hungry for creativity and collaboration. Join these gatherings if you are wondering about the work of innovation and new ministry development. Bring your questions\, your curiosity\, your imaginings… whether you have a big idea or not\, there is room at the table (or on the zoom call) for you! We need to hear your voice\, understand your challenges\, and celebrate your successes. These gatherings are intended to be generative and relational\, a place of connection. If that sounds like something you are interested in\, we would love to see you!
