Together is a time where we bring all the local fellowships together for teaching, fellowship, prayer, communion and worship and we do this once a month.
Although our heart and focus is for the smaller gatherings, we also value the larger gatherings. They serve a purpose and we just want to use them for what they are.
Bringing the smaller fellowships together shows unity and each smaller fellowship is part of something bigger. It also allows the people to meet new brothers and sisters in Christ. It also allows all the fellowships to come together and celebrate what the Lord is doing. All the hard work of discipleship and growing in the smaller fellowships can then be celebrated in this coming together.
The format of Together takes two elements. The first is a Fellowship meeting, which is for everyone who attends a Haven Fellowship. In this meeting, doctrinal teaching is brought to the fellowships to digest and take away to discuss in their fellowships. A prayer focus is brought to help unite us in prayer and we also spend time sharing communion.
The second part of Together is a celebration service. This takes the form of a 'normal' service, with praise and worship, testimony and a sermon. This element is open to anyone and is a good opportunity for the local fellowships to invite people to.
