ABOUT THE GATHERING
Join us at The Gathering, a conference of faith-based human services associations. Going beyond the confines of our usual annual conferences, The Gathering brings together human service leaders from four faith traditions: Mennonite, Methodist, Presbyterian and United Church of Christ.
The Gathering will focus on how we carry unique gifts, experiences, talents and skills - all given by God’s Spirit - into our work and service. We will explore building an intentional network of leaders that stand together to magnify our vision, amplify our voice and advance our mutual ministries.
The conference will offer presentations from leaders who have demonstrated how to lift the human spirit. Topics for a variety of workshops will be generated by our associations’ members, bringing fresh ideas, innovative approaches and best practices. In large and small group settings, we will celebrate, discern and strategize for the future.
Our time together will include worship and spiritual reflection, learning from and listening to each other and forging relationships that endure.
We’ll even have some fun together - what a gift!
