Introducing BSM's OPEN TABLES


Introducing Broad Street Ministry Open Tables

What: Groups that meet to address specific topics and create opportunities to give back to the community.

When: Groups will meet a few times a month, as decided by each individual group.

Why: BSM has grown a lot in the past 5 years and can be difficult to navigate. These groups are designed to help people get to know each other and discover how to be more involved with the larger community

Who: EVERYONE! Feel free to come to the next meeting!



Movement

This group explores issues of physicality and the mind/body/soul connection, by discussing and participating in physical movement and therapeutic lessons that will stir the creative process, in order to slowly come to a better understanding of “the body” (both our own and that of the larger community). People interested in all forms of movement are welcome - yoga, theater, dance, ballroom dancing, juggling, etc....

Group Leaders: Vinchelle Woods, Jennifer Abernathy

June meeting days/times: Tuesday June 15th, 7:30pm at BSM

Tuesday June 29th, 7:30pm at BSM


Arts and Culture

This group allows us to open ourselves to be used by God through art and culture while unleashing the Holy Spirit within! This group is an encouraging community that will teach and challenge your creativity, strengthen your faith, stir your emotions, stretch your boundaries, and progress your sense of identity – at Broad Street Ministry and beyond. Allow God to manifest through your art: music, poetry, sculpture, painting, and spoken word.

Group Leaders: Greg Moore, Lauren Russell

June meeting days/times: Mondays, at 6pm, June 7, 14, 21, and 28th, all at BSM


Community Activism

This group focuses on the distance we keep from new and different communities. We are discussing our faith, our fears, and our future with people from other religions, ethnicities, ages, and socio-economic conditions. We want to gain an understanding of each other and of the wealth that is hidden in our differences. Joining our efforts with others, we can act to make this community a better place through outreach within and beyond the walls of BSM.

Group Leaders: Alessandro Gianesini, Andre Cureton

June meeting days/times: Tuesday June 11th, 7:30pm at BSM

Tuesday June 29th, 7:30pm at BSM
