Eight years ago, Celeste and Joe Bancheri had a longing to start activities that would serve their community. Because they had a young grandchild, they decided to offer a class for the spiritual education of children at their local library. Working with their grandchild, they invited children to the class. Soon they found that the loving friendships they built with the children and parents would allow them to move the class to their home. Conversations with parents and friends led to a need to start a gathering that would provide spiritual sustenance to adults in the community, so they started a devotional gathering.
