On Sunday, 6th March we’re gathering for sweets, stories, music, creativity and connection with God and one another.

We’re calling this a ‘Vision Gathering’ because we’ll be talking/ dreaming and praying about where we are headed together as IGB.  Click this link to find out exactly what to expect this Sunday … including the running order!

Join us at 2:45 for a 3pm start at Edgbaston Quaker Meeting House (Five Ways). Scroll down for directions and details.

We will be livestreaming our worship gathering to Facebook Live and YouTube for those not joining us in person AND there will be an option to join a Zoom discussion throughout to chat with others: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84639191069?pwd=K1VNM0FTV1hlUFJjYXN6dTU3dVkxZz09

Meeting ID: 846 3919 1069
Passcode: 805433

This will be a bit longer than our usual gathering, but a group of us will go to the pub after the gathering for some social time and you are most welcome to join us if you feel comfortable doing so.

There is no IGB Kids Club today, but our Kids Club room will be open for kids and their adults who would like to use it.

About Inclusive Gathering Birmingham …
Inclusive Gathering Birmingham is a diverse church gathered together by a common dream: to become a truly inclusive faith community, where doubt and difference are a welcome part of our journey together toward Jesus. We believe that the way of Jesus leads us to the wild, radical idea that true spiritual community can be formed based on who is INCLUDED, not by who is EXCLUDED. We are a learning community, constantly growing and changing to live out this vision in new and expanding ways.
When we say “inclusion”, we mean much more than mere tolerance or welcome. We believe God wants us all to know that we actually belong. That means people of every race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, age and background, HIV status, ability and disability, theological and political conviction are loved, invited, and fully included.
