Eleven:11 Celebration PDF Print E-mail

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.

Life is a Journey

In the United Methodist tradition, faith is discerned through many different pathways.  John Wesley saw four primary ways

  • scripture
  • reason
  • tradition
  • experience. 
All of these give direction to the eleven:11 experience but we lean heavily toward experience.

Carl Jung once said...

religion is the best defense against a religious experience

  Many of us have found that the religious faith we grew up with had lost it's salt.  The flavor had gone out of it for us.  Now we find ourselves walking away from faith that is all about destinations and certainty.  We are discovering faith is a journey where answers are often individual and mystery is a friend.  

So we come together and celebrate this amazing, wonder-filled, mysterious life as pilgrims on a journey and we find that the journey itself is destination enough.
