Spiritual Renewal Days

Twice a year the entire GEM community gathers together to spend a day with God. Hosted by the Spiritual Life Team, these Spiritual Renewal Days encourage restoration and renewal and provide a sacred space for us to connect with God and each other.

The theme of this upcoming renewal day (12 March 2025) is “Choosing Christ's Hidden Way of Love." We will use GEM's "Day with God Organizer" along with Philippians 2 and a few Gospel passages to reflect on Christ's posture in relating to the Father and others.

The schedule will be identical for both CET and CDT. There will be three optional gatherings for both Europe and North America on Microsoft Teams that day. All group calls can be accessed from your Teams Calendar. If you plan on joining for a group time, please come ready to participate with your screen on to foster community.

     13H00 – 13H30 Full Group Teams Meeting Midday Worship
     16H00 – 16H30 Full Group Teams Meeting Debrief

More details can be found in the participant guide. We recommend looking through the guide to prepare your heart (and print out whatever pages you want to use) ahead of time.

Participant Guide

There is freedom to use all, part, or none of this guide. The main goal is to have time with the Lord, whatever that ends up looking like.
