The Table

Yep – I’ve succumbed to the temptation to try to draw people into church by turning the whole thing into a game show! On second thought, let’s not. And upon still further reflection, let’s see if we can skewer the whole idea that the way God relates to humans is structured like a contest, and […]

Hello Tablers! Hope that you have all been just absolutely LOVING the onset of winter…or, if that isn’t quite the case, finding ways of coping with it that are constructive. In either case, a warm welcome and a hot beverage at 493 Notre Dame on any given Sunday morning (10:30 a.m.) may be just what […]

Blurb: Just wanted to say a special “Thanks” to the good folks at Independent Jewelers for upgrading the entry to our gathering space. You really didn’t have to do that, but it sure looks awesome!  (And we’re so very thankful for the place to meet!!) If human experiences can be analogous to taking a trip […]

And what a pancake-fueled party last Sunday was! A great big THANK YOU to everyone that helped to make that breakfast happen. We’ll do that again sometime. If you were there last week, you may have noticed that there were more kids around than ever. A bit of a trend, and not just because people […]

Yep, this is THAT Sunday! Pancake Breakfast at 9:00 a.m, followed by our “normal” gathering. Come whenever you want / can, but be advised that if you care about bacon and you’re late for the pancake breakfast, no one can guarantee that there will be any of the deadly stuff left. Your call… Other Important […]

At the heart of our “reason for being” at The Table is the joyful work of making room to explore what we believe. Given the nature of exploration, that should be a fairly adventuresome enterprise…and I believe it often is. But it can also pretty easily turn into an exercise in navel gazing – self […]

As personality types go, I tilt toward “Type A”. One of the implications of that is limited tolerance for just “hanging out”. I have a constant undercurrent of needing to get things done. I’ve kind of had to learn the value (and the pleasure) of “the hang”. There is some comfort in knowing that I’m […]

Hello Tablers.  Lots on the go at The Table these days, so be sure to read this one right down to the end, just so you don’t miss anything that might be relevant to you. I got a call from a “country neighbor” this past week. They will be doing some travelling in the coming […]

Hey folks…So good to see lots of familiar faces and several new ones as we gathered last Sunday morning. Many of you shared about challenging things that are going on in your lives or the lives of those around you – thank you for inviting your community to journey with you. We need to know […]

Hello Tablers! This evening, with it’s blustery wind and rain and cool temperature, feels like a harbinger of the change of seasons. Not to get too far ahead of the weather curve – this is my favorite time of year, and I’m looking forward to the brilliant days of late summer and early fall. And…I’m […]
