GATHER meets once per month at various locations in Holland, MI. The cost for supplies is $10. All women are welcome!Our next three GATHER nights form the SHINE Series. Each evening begins with a personal story shared by a woman from our community.
We are doing this because stories matter. Not as teaching, and not as performance — but as a way of helping us listen more carefully to God and to our own hearts.
Each story offers a glimpse into how God has met someone in real life: in misunderstanding, growth, surrender, healing, or renewed trust. These stories are not meant to explain Scripture or wrap things up neatly. Instead, they open the room. They help us recognize ourselves, name what we’re carrying, and prepare us to receive God’s truth more deeply.
After each story, the evening continues as it always does at GATHER — with Scripture taught and anchored by Donna, followed by creative reflection and small-group sharing. The rhythm of worship, Scripture, crafting with purpose, and community remains the same. The only difference is that each teaching time begins with a story.
We believe that when one person shares honestly, it helps others feel less alone. Stories invite presence. They soften our defenses and help us listen — not just with our minds, but with our whole selves.
The SHINE Series is an invitation to slow down, listen, and notice how God is at work — in others, and in us.
