The Gathering

The Gathering is a growing community of people in the Sacramento, California, area who come together to hear personal stories from ordinary people. Our major storytelling events occur quarterly and involve four storytellers for an evening of stories and music. Each event is based on a theme with each story being about ten minutes reflecting the theme for the evening. Begun in April 2013 as a project of the national Presbyterian Church USA “1,001 New Worshiping Communities” effort, The Gathering is now a program of Bethany. Rev. Judy Davis is the founder of The Gathering.
