Save the date: A Gathering of communities on December 21

The night will include a progressive journey through a candle-lit house, engaging in various traditions and ways of celebrating God With Us.
Place: 299 E. 139th Street, the Bronx.  One block from 3rd Ave./138th Street stop on the 6 train
Date/Time: Wednesday December 21, 7-9:30 pm
What to expect
Each room of the the house will offer a unique way to engage, from art and music to contemplation and tradition.  Expect to journey and engage in small groups as you move from room to room, then to have a time of pot-luck foods, celebration and getting to know each other at a central room at the end.  Expect to meet people from living-together communities and worshipping communities around the city, as well as with our friends and neighbors in the South Bronx.

How to participate
Bring a pot-luck dish if you can.  Come as a community, as a family, or as an individual.  Bring friends!  An RSVP by Dec. 19 would be helpful.  I’ll send out one more reminder closer to the date.
How to contribute
We would like the 4 to 7 rooms to be facilitated by folks from different communities, nationalities and traditions!  A room might include:
  • Christmas traditions and foods from a particular country or culture, or
  • worship through the creation of art or music, or
  •  contemplative writings, lyrics or images, or
  • a provocative and challenging engagement around issues of justice and brotherly love
If you, or your community, are willing to facilitate a room, please email transmissionchurch [at] gmail by December 7.
