Joyous Expectations was created as a holiday season time of gathering together with others to share the joyous times that we may have had with family and friends that we may no longer have that opportunity to do but yet miss. 

As we gathered, I realized that many of us were needing this kind of fellowship long term. A time of sharing food, fun and stories. Enjoying the time to visit and get to know each other better.  


Joyous Expectations has changed names, but it is still that great time to Gather Together.

A monthly gathering.  We may decide to do a craft, play some games, sing some songs, share some food and beverage.  Go out for a lunch.  You never know what we will do so come Gather with us.    

Do you realize Gathering with others has always held a special place in the Bible. It emphasizes the value of community, fellowship, and worshiping together as a way to strengthen faith and build each other up.  When we gather, we have the opportunity to share our experiences, wisdom and insights through meaningful conversations.
