Friends, you’re invited to a special Coracle weekend, June 13-14, 2025.
1) A retreat experience on Saturday, June 14: “Spiritual Formation FOR Kingdom Action IN Community” from 9:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Our vision for this time is to have a shared experience for those who already find Coracle (and Coracle people) meaningful AND for those who don’t know much about this beautiful ministry of strange integrations to get to experience that diversity with others. So, does Coracle bless you? Please come. OR, are you curious about Coracle? Please come. Do you simply want to catch fire with a vision of deep Christianity and Christ? Please come. We’d love to see you and have you join us on the journey!
2) Our annual fundraiser, “Burning Brighter” on Saturday, June 14, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. We’ll look back a bit at the past year and look ahead to what’s to come – expect some exciting announcements! If you’ve been around us for a while, you’ll know that Fire and Light and Luminous are deep themes for us, all the more so when the days feel like a dark swirling storm. When it’s getting darker, the Christian’s task and opportunity is to burn brighter. If you want to get a good look at what’s going on with Coracle and what’s coming and would consider supporting this work, please join us. Consider inviting friends that you think would appreciate Coracle but don’t know exactly what it is.
3) An Open House at Bill and Tara’s house in Falls Church the night before, Friday June 13, anytime between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. If you want to be blessed by trees and green and good food, please come! Show up whenever, leave whenever, stay as long as you want. We’re really looking forward to hosting you and having a lovely time together.
So, there’s three ways you can engage with us that weekend. Come for one, come for two, come for all three! We are embarking on a new season and want to invite you to join us in it. To use the Coracle imagery, we’re making our boat bigger so that more of you can hop in and join us as we journey with Jesus to wherever his Spirit is taking us. Out on the open ocean, the waves are big and the sunsets serene and glorious! And Jesus is as present with us as he was with his disciples in a boat.
We really hope you’ll be able to join one, if not all three, of these gatherings (register here). We’re curious about who will come, who God is leading to us. We’d like to build something beautiful together.
