We've heard from some of you that being a parent can be hard enough, but it's especially a feat to figure out how to pass on a faith that's meaningful to your kids. We wanted to offer some space for you to chat with other grown-ups of Gather about what it's like to be you— to navigate faith and parenting and living in this wild world.
Hope you'll consider joining us on May 11th at 10am at Spring Street Studios (Katie Hilburn Interiors HQ)! Someone will be at the main entrance to direct you to the office. RSVP here!

If your last name starts with A-M, bring a side, and if it starts with N-Z, bring a dessert. No need to feel pressure to bring a whole dish for every person in your family, but if you want to make/bring more than one dish, feel free!
Also, if you want to come and can't bring something, that's okay too! We just want to have you there!
Email Brianna or Josh with any questions.
