be filled: An Evening of Adoration, Community, and A Shared Meal

​

BE FILLED IS for seekers, believers, skeptics,

+ anyone longing for peace, connection, or REFRESHMENT.

​

Be Filled is an evening where you can hit pause on the hurry of life, rest in God’s presence, and share life together in community. Whether you’ve spent years in the Church or are simply curious or seeking, this evening is designed to be welcoming, peaceful, and rejuvenating.

​​

ADORATION

Adoration is a time of quiet prayer in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, and Adoration is an opportunity to sit with Him—much like spending time with a close friend. There is no pressure to pray in a certain way, know any prayers (though printed guides will be provided if you'd like to participate in the traditional prayers for Adoration), or stay the entire time. You might sit in silence, reflect, read Scripture, or journal.  Others just take a few deep breaths and rest from the noise of everyday life. If you're new to Adoration, you're not alone!  At first, the experience of silence and stillness can feel unfamiliar, but many find it becomes a place of deep peace and refreshment.  Adoration lasts about an hour, and you can come for a few minutes or the entire evening.  What matters most is showing up.

​​

COMMUNITY

Community is an important part of the evening. Faith is not meant to be lived alone, and Be Filled creates space to meet others, share conversation, and build friendships in a relaxed and welcoming environment. You do not need to know anyone ahead of time — many people come on their own and are warmly welcomed.  It's a joyful way to build friendships and experience the warmth of Christian community.   Feel free to bring a friend or two along with you if you'd like.

​​

SHARED MEAL

The shared meal reflects the beauty of gathering at the table together, just as Jesus often did with His followers. Food helps create a space of belonging and conversation, where people can laugh, share stories, and grow in connection. The meal is simple, potluck style, and meant to foster community and joy.  If you would like to help provide food, hospitality, or help for the shared meal, you can sign up here: v.gd/befilled. 

 

Helping with food or hospitality is completely optional -- everyone is welcome to attend whether or not you are able to contribute.  Your presence is what matters most.
