About

Leadership Team: Adrienne (they, them), Cassidy (she, her), and Peter (he, him).

Our fabulous leaders collaborate with Pastor Celeste in shaping Moveable Feast's life together. Meet them at a Moveable Feast gathering and learn more about their roles and whether you might want to join the leadership team at some point.

Moveable Feast is an emerging community of faith rooted in the Mennonite tradition but open to all.

Moveable Feast was formed, as the Holy Spirit formed the church at Pentecost, on the principle of solidarity with each other, with all other people, and with all of the creatures of the earth.* That formation is not a one-time event but requires continued self-examination, transformation, and growth in order to tear down all human hierarchies. It also requires a rhythm of rest for growth to be possible. 

At our gatherings, we draw on a varieties of sources in addition to scripture and intentionally seek diverse voices for prayers, readings, and theological reflection. The atmosphere is like a living room (and sometimes literally is a living room) and the group is small, even tiny—but in a positive sense, like a Tiny Desk concert. Each person is welcome to

• participate in any parts of the service they wish, including by listening and thinking silently without speaking;

• observe without partaking (for example, in the sharing of bread and cup);

• do something with their hands—coloring affirming coloring book pages, crocheting, knitting, or similar crafts; and

• dress casually—including pajamas.
