Sacred Spaces: Opening The Holy Invitation Even Wider

Join the ELCA Northwest Washington Synod Cultivate Team, Facilitators, and Practitioners of unique gatherings and organic forms of church, for a day of experiences and workshops to explore together how we can expand God’s holy invitation even wider.

There are so many ways to gather as faithful communities, whether it's outdoors, in the kitchen, at the pub, creating art, or eating around one big table. Why shouldn’t our gatherings reflect our uniqueness? Why should we innovate alone?

Let’s imagine how we can foster organic sacred spaces right in our own backyards–and support each other as we experiment.

How can we create more inclusive gatherings for people to encounter God? How can we experiment with the gifts we have to meet the needs of those seeking the spirit in our own neighborhoods? What is sprouting up within you that is ready for germination?

Come with ideas, come with questions, come to dream about what sacred spaces can be! Been wanting to experiment faithfully with something new? This gathering is for you (and/or your team!)

You can experience:
Baking Church, Wild Church, Creative Church, Celtic Spirituality, & Pub Church afterwards!

Registration Fees:
$35/person, $100/church (includes lunch)
Scholarships available

Location:
7400 Woodlawn Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98115

We are grateful to our host site 7400 Woodlawn, which is a prime example of redeveloping an inherited church space not only for new and innovative ministries, but also to connect more deeply with the community. We encourage carpooling as parking in the lot is limited. Street parking is also available (with no time limits in most of the neighborhood). https://www.7400woodlawn.org/
