We will be meeting at the Frame Arts Warehouse, 318 1/2 Ross. Don’t worry to much about the “1/2” part – find 318 Ross and look for the familiar […]

Greetings, good people of The Table! This week our gathering will be doubly auspicious. It is, as the greeting card companies (and many others, including the hardware stores!) have been reminding us, Mothers Day. Aside from the obvious and self-centred reason to acknowledge and celebrate moms (where would we all be without them?!), there are […]

There is a part of my brain, which (if I could see it) I imagine would look like a roiling melange of song lyrics. From this lyric stew, there is one line that keeps floating to the surface. I believe it is from the song “Paper and Fire”. The words are “I know there’s a […]

Things are going to be a bit different this week at The Table. Together we’re going to explore the idea and the process of creativity by having a conversation with some songwriters in our midst. Of course music is always a big part of our gatherings, but this week we’re going to do more than […]

For those of you that have been paying attention (and some of you have), this Sunday is Earth Day. In a fortuitous stroke that almost feels inspired, we will be returning to The Big Story this week. Fortuitous because the part of the story we are in suggests that God’s idea of a good time […]

Take hope from the heart of man, and you make him a beast of prey. OUIDA, A Village Commune The Christian story and the God that Christendom follows have staked an awful lot on what may fairly be regarded as the least likely part of the whole narrative – a dead man coming back to life. […]

Comments Off on The Easter Story
In our house, a visit from Grandpa (my dad) is made particularly special if he can be convinced to tell a story. Not a “made up” story, but a story from his past – a story that actually happened. It doesn’t matter so much if the story has been heard before. It doesn’t even seem […]

This coming Sunday we have a guest teacher bringing his gift to us. If you are a regular part of our Sunday gathering, you probably know who Trevor is – a sturdy guy with a fine red beard; passionate, thoughtful, and a man with (at least in our context) some hidden talents.

Once upon a time (does this sound like the beginning of a fairy tale?) I had occasion to take a class on Work and Spiritual Formation.
