A Sisterhood Rooted in Hope

Our 2026 National Gathering Planning Team shares on how they came up with this summer’s theme and logo:

Looking at our ideas and the themes from the previous gathering, we decided to build on the theme of seeds by focusing on rootedness.  We wanted to show our unity as a sisterhood and also were mindful of honoring our diversity.  This is reflected in our logo. We talked about communal discernment and decided that we can use communal discernment as a process at our meeting – rather than needing it to be incorporated directly into the theme. 

We’re so excited about Denver – we hope to see you there! Please pray for us as we plan.
