Description
Summer can feel synonymous with “gathering.” And at the height of the 2020 pandemic, the almost collective lament at the inability to gather – in worship, with family, for birthday parties and weddings, around the coffee pot at work, or even at a funeral – made the eventual togetherness both sweet and bittersweet. We didn’t realize before, it seems, how much community can mean. But Jesus told us: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them (Matthew 18:20).” This issue of the Outlook explores what it means to gather, to be in community with one another, and to find the Holy Spirit there and waiting.
