We welcome you to join in as we seek, wonder, experiment, discover, and grow JUNTOS!

What are we doing?

​~ 6PM…JUNTOS we ARRIVE. With drumming and song we come home to our place of deep rootedness in our bodies, in the gathered community and in the creation.
 
~6:20PM…JUNTOS we LISTEN.  We listen for the Word of Life that God is speaking to us in scripture, in silence, in creation, and in community.
 
~6:45PM…JUNTOS we PRAY.  In prayer we commend the deepest longings of our hearts and of our world to the heart of God, who is love.
 
~7PM…JUNTOS we SHARE. We share God’s peace, we share God’s gifts, we share God’s life in bread and wine. 
 
~7:15PM…JUNTOS we ARE BLESSED to GO FORTH.  We receive God’s blessing to go out into the world and faithfully travel our path on this earth.

What are we singing?

Behold, an Ancient Voice is Calling Us 
Behold, behold, an Ancient voice is calling us
Behold, Behold, all over the skies
​an ancient voice is calling us
​
Hope is deeper than despair
Hope is deeper than despair
Thanks be to you, O God!
Hope is deeper
Thanks be to God!
