R E S E T F A Q ‘ S

Here’s a few of the frequently asked questions that we’ve had that might be helpful as you consider whether the Father is inviting you to come along to Reset Wednesday evenings:


What will these gatherings be like?

We will begin in our first two gatherings in sharing a meal together on the first evening and then in an evening of prayer and worship. Each time we gather, we’ll be leaning into cultivating community, and discovering who we are and what we carry, as well as unearthing practices to help us along the way. These will be times of deep intentionality, of learning and equipping as well as authentic community. All of these will focus around our vision “We long to see the love and hope of Jesus spill out into the hearts, homes and streets of Carlisle through being with Him, becoming like Him and doing what Jesus did.”


Will these keep going past the 12 weeks?

We’ve been intentional in these Wednesday’s running until the end of July when we will take a break over August. As these weeks go on, we’ll establish together whether from September onwards we continue in a together space at the hub, or whether we feel ready to multiply these into a few homes. At this stage, we’re keeping both options as a possibility, it would be premature to decide either way.

I have work commitments that may mean I miss once or twice a month - can I still sign up?

Our heart for these reset evenings is that we try to commit to as many as possible so that we can gain traction together and really have time in getting to know each other on a consistent basis. We know however that some work schedules mean you’ll be all in when you can come but may miss a few Wednesdays within the 12 weeks of gathering. Really what we’d say is take it before Jesus, and if you want sound this with Andy, Rho or Mir, along the way.

I’m a single parent, at home with a young child - how can I engage?

We fully recognise that this time frame won’t suit everyone. Firstly we’d love to have a conversation with you if this question affects you to understand how we can solve this together. One approach may be to ask someone in the community, or two others if they would consider rotating child care and gathering with you for this season. Maybe you could offer to assist with child care, if you don't fall into this bracket? Another may be to connect via Zoom (see more below). Moving forward, it would be our hope that there may be multiple times and ways of connecting - with families gathering together at times appropriate to all ages.

Is there the option of gathering remotely (via zoom)?

We’d love to chat with you if you’d like to gather but feel unable to do so in person. We are wondering about the possibility of having a zoom group gathering at the same time as the in person gathering. Although there are zoom deficits, this could be a way to connect for those who can’t in person - due to long term illness for example. If you are thinking you’d like to join in on zoom, please get in touch - we’d love to explore that a little further with you.

Can I bring my kids/youth?

Our youth have a space to gather on Sunday evenings currently and we’d love to hear from you if you’ve children and would love to help cultivate another space for them, in addition to the Sunday space. While in the future we would love to see these places of equipping multiplied into homes, and including children and youth in on the journey - in this initial phase Wednesday evenings will be good for those aged 18+.
