Middle In-Person Gatherings

We’re so excited to begin gathering in-person again! God delights in our community—in our ability to be physically present for one another. While we can’t wait to see your faces outside of a Zoom square, we are still in a global pandemic so please click here to read our COVID-19 guidelines, which are an expression of how we love one another and our mutual agreements to do our part to keep everyone healthy.  

We’ve got a monthly meet up in a NYC public park on the calendar for this summer -and we hope you’ll make plans to see us there! 

We’ll start organizing many more in-person events after our Homecoming on Sunday, October 3rd, but here’s a list of ways that you can meet up with your Middle family in the meantime. And if you live outside of NYC, please email Rev. Natalie as she is in the process of helping to organize state-wide gatherings for our members around the country!

And for those who participate in our events virtually, don’t worry! We’re still going to offer tons of ways for you to meet and create community digitally after we begin gathering physically.

See you in the Park!
