Our Story
Home is a symbol, a place, a people, a destination, a sensation. For symbols to come alive, they must be broken open. Throughout the week, the concept of home will be unsettled, uprooted, planted, explored, glimpsed, and activated. The kneading will be beyond word and form; and as concrete as the land on which we stand. As an assembly, we are guided by God on the journey, led by Jesus on the way, interrupted and redirected by the Holy Spirit.
Our pilgrimage will be a prayer – Lead Us Homeward.
