Sunday Nights @ The Gathering At The Gathering, we feel that it’s our responsibility to “clear the way” for you to come to church. Through contemporary music, multi-media, and practical messages, we present the timeless truths of the Bible in a format that’s easy to understand, even if you’ve never been to church. And we meet Sunday nights...so you can have your mornings to yourself and still come to church. We hope that you will come join us this week!
Here are a few thoughts to help you prepare for coming this weekend:
1. Dress Casual. Most people wear casual weekend attire. Jeans are fine – so just be yourself.
2. When you arrive come by Gathering Café to pick up a cup of coffee or a soda. It’s on us and is our small way of saying that we’re glad to came. If you have children you can check them in with our friendly volunteers at Gathering Kids (for ages 0-6). Parents with children over the age of 6 are encouraged to bring them into the service.
3. On your way toward the auditorium pick up a Gathering Guide. The guide will tell you all about what’s happening at The Gathering and what we are talking about that night. Inside there will be an information card and an offering envelope. The offering envelope is for those who call The Gathering home, so don't feel obligated to give until you feel comfortable. However, we’d love for you to complete the information card during the service if you feel comfortable. This will let us know that you visited and get you on our weekly enews list.
4. Enjoy the service. Participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing. We'll let you know if we are about to stand or sit down, so just hang back and check us out.
5. Before you leave stop by the General Information Table so that we can meet you and give you a gift for coming. At the tables you will find information about The Gathering, places to connect with a mid-week bible study, and the resource center full of books, CD's, and misc good stuff. Plus, there will be several friendly Gathering members there who will be happy to let you ‘just look around' or answer any questions you might have.
