This is an opportunity to worship together in creative and nourishing ways, hear an inspirational keynote address by Sara Miles, and attend workshops to deepen our engagement. Includes Buffet Lunch together. Workshop topics will include: “A foretaste of the Heavenly Banquet: Transcendent Worship,” “Cultivating Kingdom Hospitality,” “Ministry that feeds bodies and strengthens the Body of Christ”, “The Kids are Hungry: Nourishing the spiritual lives of young people”, and "Feeding Hungry Teens: Nourishing Youth and Young Adults".
"Every single thing that the risen Lord does in this world, he does through our bodies. You are fed, you are healed, you are forgiven, you are pronounced clean, you are loved. And you are raised from the dead. So go and do likewise.”
Working out of the Church of Saint Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco, she has built a thriving food pantry ministry feeding over 1200 families each week. In this brief YouTube video Sara elegantly restates what we all, as Christians, know as our mission in life.
