Eleven:11 a time for change
|
|
Welcome!
When people visit eleven:eleven for the first time they often comment that they have never been to a church service like it. It isn't the traditional kind of service but it also doesn't fit into the mold of most contemporary christian services. What makes eleven:eleven different is its focus on Creation Spirituality.
Creation Spirituality honors all of creation as an original blessing. The Creation Spirituality movement seeks to integrate the wisdom of western spirituality and global indigenous cultures with the emerging scientific understanding of the universe and the passionate creativity of art. |

Come Join The Circle
At eleven:eleven we celebrate life in a circle with a round table for an altar. We do this intentionally because this celebration is not a performance. This ritual is our way of joining all of creation in returning blessing for the blessings we received. 
We offer our gifts, our visions, our struggles and our strengths and we hope that by doing this around the altar that we are altered and the world is altered. Like pebbles dropped into water we hope these expressions create ripples in the world. |
