BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//MyTestProject//EN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:The Gathering CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260908T112416Z DESCRIPTION:The Gathering is a free Christian music and worship event taking place Saturday, October 3, beginning at 4:30 p.m. at Stephens Lake Park Amphitheater in Columbia. Although the entire community is welcome, the event has a special focus on reaching high-school students with a message of hope. The Gathering began after two separate groups prayed for the young people of Columbia. Hearing the same concern expressed twice led me to ask, "What can we do?" That question grew into this community event. Christian speaker Ross Johnston is traveling from Seattle to share the Gospel message. The program will also feature live Gospel and worship music. Local student ambassadors are being recruited to welcome students and connect those who respond to the message with churches, youth ministries and other resources after the event. Something is stirring. Across high schools, college campuses, churches, and communities, people are searching for truth, purpose, and a faith that is real. We believe God is moving-and that this movement is coming to Columbia through The Gathering. On Saturday, October 3, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m., people from across Mid-Missouri are invited to come together at Stephens Lake Park Amphitheater for an inspiring outdoor evening centered on Jesus. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. The Gathering will bring believers, families, students, friends, churches, and community members together for worship, the Word of God, and a shared experience of His presence. Whether you have followed Jesus for many years, are returning to faith, or are simply curious about who Jesus is, this event is for you. No matter your background or where you are on your spiritual journey, you are invited to come, listen, worship, and discover what God may be stirring in your own life.
