The gathering of God's people around His Word is an ancient practice that stretches back to the Church’s formation. Through the centuries, these gatherings have involved millions of Christians. In our monthly event, Around the Word, we join the throng. This practice calls us to surrender our own voice for a time and listen to God through His Word. We’re seeking God’s face, as He tells us to do. As we listen, we make note of the lessons learned.
​​
During our monthly gatherings via Zoom, we select one passage and dive deep by reading it four times, taking time between the readings to reflect and respond. Much of the time is spent in silence as we ponder, meditate, and listen. We have several Visual Faith® prayer space tools that we employ in those times of silence. There is also time given to sharing our thoughts and learning with one another.
In 2025, we will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month to study scripture from the book of Psalms. You can join us at 10:00am ET or 8:00pm ET depending on your schedule, or BOTH! These gatherings are NOT recorded. However, we encourage you to work through the packet individually or with a small group in your home if you are unable to join us live.
