General Assembly worship moves Disciples through the self-understanding of our created goodness (Gen. 2) to our need for repentance and forgiveness when we walk away from the goodness that bathes our creation (Gen. 3). Understanding anew our call to wholeness, we share in Jesus' pray that we may be one, "that the world may believe," (John 17). Refreshed by God's call on our lives, we consider our own baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit as empowerment to live lives – to act in ways – worthy of our calling (Acts 2). On our final day together, a Sunday, we move into the Indianapolis area's houses of worship for reflection on the day when God's imagination for creation restores us to wholeness (Rev. 22). Then, in celebration of God's care and call for all creation, we gather for a closing concert and communion service on Sunday afternoon, inviting the entire Indianapolis metropolitan area community – especially those who seek companionship for their faith journey. There we spread the Lord's Table one more time together and "welcome all... as God has welcomed us."
To make this vision of moving this insider event to an event where outsiders are welcome and sought will only be done through preparing the church through prayer. This site is dedicated to those folks who want to pray to see this grand vision realized.
