A Shared Meal: 

The gathering begins with a meal. Perhaps in a restaurant so the establishment will provide the food. Or it could be a potluck-style dinner, where everyone contributes and sits together. This meal becomes a sacred space for connection and gratitude. The meal breaks down barriers to connection.

Guided Reflection with Scripture lesson: 

After dinner, a time of scripture, reflection, or spiritual practice invites everyone to engage deeply with our faith. This might include contemplative prayer, storytelling, or exploring how to live out the teachings of Jesus.

Open Conversation: 

In a spirit of vulnerability and authenticity, the group discusses the evening’s focus, sharing insights and supporting one another.

Sending with Purpose: 

The gathering concludes with an intentional practice or blessing that encourages participants to live out what they’ve experienced during the week ahead.
