Sponsors of these gatherings:
A message from the sponsors: "We know that our organizations are not 'the movement,' the movement for a prophetic, radical, grounded, growing church is in each of us and in all of us when we come together. We hope that by facilitating gatherings, the Spirit working through and between us will manifest more than we could ever plan or foresee. Please continue to bless us with your prayers and presence. In deep gratitude for each of you and your ministries."
