You're Invited!

You're invited to join us in person for an upcoming ABIDE meeting. ABIDE is a community of believers who gather for one hour to simply dwell in the Word. We practice the public reading of Scripture and community Scripture memory—a rhythmic, peaceful way to set our hearts on what matters most.

While we continue to host our community on Zoom, we are also opening a space for in-person participation. Whether you have been part of ABIDE for a while or have never heard of it, you are welcome. There is no preparation required—just come as you are.

The Experience

60 minutes of Scripture reading and memorization, followed by light refreshments and fellowship.

1. Conduct & Atmosphere

Since we are a community that reads and memorizes God’s Word together, we strive to maintain a peaceful and honorable environment.

Focus: Please silence all mobile devices upon entering the meeting room.

Respect: Participants are expected to engage respectfully with others at all times.

2. Dress Code

SMF wants you to “come as you are,” but we ask that you be mindful of our sacred task and shared community space.

Standard: Please wear modest, casual attire suitable for a church or office setting.

Consideration: Avoid clothing with offensive graphics or language that may distract from the meditative nature of the gathering.

3. Health & Safety

To protect our community: if you are feeling unwell or have recently been exposed to a contagious illness, we kindly ask that you join us via Zoom rather than attend in person.
