Since January of this year, regular devotional gatherings in DC have grown from seven to over twenty. During the last three-month cycle, five new devotional spaces opened up, enhancing the devotional character of the community. Seeing devotional spaces large and small, in frequencies that vary from weekly to quarterly – some focused on youth serving together in small areas of one or another neighborhood, others on an expanding network of coworkers and friends across neighborhoods – is a welcome and exciting development. The varied nature of these spaces is something to embrace and celebrate. While each may be unique, each is centered on the Word of God, collective worship, and strengthening the devotional character of the community.
