Body Mapping activity led by artist Olga Lah, HUB Mid-Atlantic Regional Gathering (Washington DC, Sep 12, 2025)

Dear HUB friends,

September has come and gone in a flash! We are now in the thick of things here in New York City and beyond.

On September 12, 2025, we hosted our Mid-Atlantic Regional Gathering at Washington City Church of the Brethren, with pastors, artists, theological educators, and ministry leaders from Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Artist Olga Lah led a body mapping activity (featured above), and we had rich time of sharing, reflecting, walking, and praying for Capitol Hill and our respective ministry communities and cities. It was the beginning of new relationships as well as deepening of existing connections. And it wrapped up with the Creative Community Care exhibit opening celebration. See more details below.

Finally, we look ahead in preparation for the Fall Convening in November 2025. Registration is now closed, and follow-up details are being sent to those who have confirmed participation. We are excited to pilot a facilitation workshop and curate resources from the HUB network to share.

We love hearing your updates and continue to share them here, on our HUB website, and on social media. We are praying with and for you as you continue in the good work you have been called to.

Peace, Maria and Mark (with the HUB team)
