No cost
You are warmly invited to an Order of Elders Gathering designed as a space to pause, reconnect, and share the table with colleagues.
This gathering is intentionally relational and collegial.
We will gather around tables - not a stage - for conversation, Scripture, silence, Holy Communion, and unhurried fellowship.
A Note About Pie:
As part of our shared table, we are inviting participants to bring a pie to share.
If you love pie, love baking pie, or love offering and sharing pie with others, your presence (and your pie) would be a gift to others. Homemade pies, favorite bakery pies, beautiful pies, and imperfect pies - all are equally welcome. This is not about skill or presentation, but about sharing something ordinary and generous.
After the Gathering:
When the gathering comes to a close at noon, the table doesn't have to end all at once. For those who would like to continue the conversation, a few nearby restaurant options and activity ideas will be shared so that fellowship can continue in ways that fit different tastes, energies, and rhythms.
Some may choose to share a meal, others a walk or a quiet activity. Nothing formal, just space for connection to take whatever shape feels right.
