Gemeinschaft

Gemeinschaft (Geh-mine-schaft) is a small group experience developed by Moravians for Moravians who seek an intentional period of spiritual growth with the support of a small group of five to seven people.

Is Gemeinschaft for you?  Possibly, if you have:

.... a "restless" or "unsettled" feeling in your present relationship with God.

.... a sense of call to a deeper Christian faith.

.... a desire to grow in your spiritual life.

.... a desire to be a member of a small group which is committed to prayer and a deeper experience with God.

.... the belief that service in the church and world can be stronger and more focused with an intentional balance of your inner and outer faith journey, receiving from God and giving for God.

.... a willingness to set aside ten months of your church life to focus on spiritual development.

Participants in a Gemeinschaft group agree to meet together for 2-1/2 hours each week for 40 weeks.  Group members also covenant with one another to read the Moravian Daily Texts each day, to pray daily for each member of the group, to keep a journal aimed at finding connections between daily living and a relationship with God, to study The Moravian Covenant for Christian Living, and to take a personal retreat.
