This is the crumbs from His table fellowship. Lord willing, we will build a real haven of community in this online space for any who wish. The expanded options will be tailored especially to those isolated by chronic and prolonged illness, age, and/or caregiving. Lord willing, we will eventually have a Brave Hearts (slow reads) Book Club, Table in the Wilderness Zoom mini-retreats and fellowship time, Bible study (or at least communal Bible reading) with prayer, and active conversations in comments, chat, and threads.
As much as my own health allows, I will offer an audio option for community members who find screen reading challenging. If we ever include music in a gathering or post, I will warn you so that people whose symptoms are triggered by music can stop or skip ahead in listening. If there are other adjustments I need to make along the way, please tell me that too.
The goal of this space is to serve you: encouragement, discipleship, and fellowship made accessible to those who cannot access them in a local church for whatever reason. That is not in any way to minimize the value of congregational worship in the same physical space; it is rather an acknowledgement that the Lord’s own boundaries in our health and circumstances do not always allow that. We will not shame each other for absence from the local church building here. We will seek to spur one another on in love, prayer, trust, and worship.
Endurance is hard. Life can get lonely, especially with illness, caregiving, and aging. Let’s cheer each other on and limp forward in the race of faith together.
Courage, dear hearts.
Under His wings,
christina
