On Tuesday, October 24th and Wednesday, October 25th, 2023, members of the New Room Society gathered for a New Faith Communities’ Common Learning Days Event. Church planters, innovators, pastors, laity, district superintendents, and those discerning a call to plant gathered for two days at the Southeast Raleigh Table (SER\T), a United Methodist church plant, where they had the opportunity to learn first hand from the incredible team of pastors, staff, and lay leaders there.
The SER\T team shared about the journey to becoming the fruitful and thriving church they are now, with a particular focus on liturgical worship. Over the course of these two days, the gathered community of planters, innovators, and leaders heard about the origins of SER\T, past and current iterations of worship, the vision, mission, and values of SER\T, and many of the practical details that make up day-to-day ministry at SER\T.
Common Learning Days culminated in a beautiful service of worship led by an incredible team of worship leaders and pastors from SER\T. All those gathered were sent out with a renewed passion for creative liturgical worship, a powerful witness of the work of church planting, and a deeper connection with one another and with the God who calls us constantly to co-create new things.
