SUNDAY RHYTHMS - SONGS & STORIES
It is deeply important to the life of River & Way that we take time to sit around the table and participate in community life together. In our practice of Sunday rhythms, on the last Sunday of every other month, we come together at The Tower to share a meal and bring the things God has placed inside of us to the community. We create time to share, edify, and encourage one another through songs and stories.
All kids will join us for the meal. Please bring a brunch item to share with everybody. After the meal together, bring whatever the Lord has placed inside of you to bring to our community gathering. If you are a musician, feel free to bring a song, or if you bake, bring something you made, or if you are an artist, bring a drawing or painting to share with the community, or you can also bring something that God showed you from the Scriptures this week or even a broken prayer or an answered prayer request.
After the meal, we will spend time together singing songs and telling stories. This time is meant to edify and build up the church body; but please don’t over-spiritualize this idea. This can be sharing what you read in the scriptures this week, sharing what God has been doing in your life, or share a word that builds up the church. Think of this like a new home church community sharing their lives together after a meal.
As you consider what you are bringing to the community, do not place undue pressure on yourself. Some people have yet to discover what God has placed inside of them to bring, some people have gifts that may not be for the community gathering, and others don't feel safe or comfortable enough to bring their gift. These are all okay, and as we lean into this space, we will learn how to do this together.
We want to gather Jesus' body together with each person bringing the gifts that Jesus has put inside of them to actively contribute to the River & Way family.
