Some Assembly Required Elective Resources

April – May 2024

In this 50th Anniversary year, there has been a lot of story-telling about the origins of Assembly in various worship services and in second hour. I will be collecting some resources about the history and origins of Assembly here, but we will not be spending a lot of time on origin stories in our in-person sessions this year.

I recommend watching the interview with Mary Ellen Meyer, linked below, if you want to hear another first-person perspective on the origins of Assembly.
