A “Gathering” is a time when local “Reunion Groups” host the Midwest Crossroads community for an evening of fellowship, worship and Holy Spirit lead discussion. Gatherings are a place where each one of us loves, prays for and holds ourselves and the others of our community accountable.
While there is only one opportunity for someone to take part in a “Walk to Emmaus” weekend, through reunion groups and gatherings, we can refresh that same feeling of a greater community with those who have been there and done that.
Gatherings are special times throughout the year when we experience that feeling of being set apart, like it says in Colossians 3: 9b-10 – “Take off the old human nature with its practices and put on the new nature, which is renewed in knowledge by conforming to the image of the one who created it.”
