Collective Care

Collective Care Looks Ahead

As the Collective Care in Uncaring Times series comes to a close, this teaching invites us to consider what collective care looks like when we look beyond the immediate moment. Reflecting on Corinthians and Revelation, we explore the idea that we are invited to collaborate with the Divine in building communities and a world that can outlast us. Even when disappointment, loss, and uncertainty make it difficult to imagine a hopeful future, we can continue the work of nurturing, repairing, and renewing what has been entrusted to us. Looking ahead, then, becomes an act of hope, humility, and collective care.

They Will Know You Are My Disciples By Your Love

Teaching Team Speaker Sylvia Williams continues Haven’s Collective Care in Uncaring Times series by exploring Jesus’ command to “love one another and asking what it looks like for a church to become known by its love. Drawing from the stories of John and the Book of Ruth, Sylvia reflects on the power of accompaniment, generosity, hospitality, and community across differences. Drawing from her own experiences of finding belonging in small group community and practical examples from Haven’s own life together, she reminds us that love is most visible in the everyday ways we show up for one another.
