The Village at Countryside

a place to “Connect & Belong”

There are many ways to get involved with The Village at Countryside, and we hope EVERYONE will take the first step by signing up to join a Village House.

For updates, see our blog posts! August 22 I August 14

These Village Houses, named after traditional roles in a village such as Elders, Water Keepers, Guardians, Weavers and Builders, are designed to create a fun and meaningful community where we can “connect & belong.”

In addition to your small group, there will be village-wide activities, practices and gatherings that support life in the Village—like yoga, walking Abraham’s Bridge, attending theatre outings, two-way prayer or queer potluck, and making music together. There’s something for everyone!

We are also seeking facilitators to help support our Village Houses. Each group will have co-facilitators, so you can partner with a friend. The initial sessions will begin with David Brooks’ book, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply, and Being Deeply Seen, and run from Sept. 18 to Nov. 6, meeting on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. at church, with flexibility for future meeting times based on your group’s preferences.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Sign up to join a Village House
• Sign up to co-facilitate a Village House

We are excited to embark on this journey together and look forward to seeing you at The Village Dinner on Sept. 18. Let’s come together to build a community that truly reflects the love of God.
