Dear HUB friends,

As we come to the end of the summer and look to a new ministry and academic year, we hope that you have had some time for respite and renewal.

In a couple of weeks, we will host the HUB Mid-Atlantic Regional Gathering at the Washington City Church of the Brethren in Washington DC. We will gather ministry and community leaders, theological educators, and artists together for a time of sharing, learning, and praying together.

We’ll walk the streets and pray for our nation and its capital, and celebrate the opening of the ‘Creative Community Care’ exhibit on its fifth stop. We appreciate your prayers for this time together, particularly for the ways we can make space for relationship-building, reflection, and listening in this moment.

Invitations for the Fall Convening in November have been sent out. Please use the RSVP form to indicate if you are joining us by September 5, 2025. In particular, please let us know if you will opt in for the Wednesday afternoon facilitation workshop or have a resource to share with others. This will help us to prepare to welcome you to New York City.

More to come next month! Stay in touch!

Peace, Maria and Mark (with the HUB team)
