The Table

The last time I spoke, I confessed that I had become obsessed with the section of Matthew’s gospel generally known as the Sermon on the Mount. Several months later, I can still say that I am still intrigued and at times baffled by this short, yet monumentally important speech delivered by Jesus at the onset […]

Well, this week I’m going to do something I’ve never done before in my entire life / career. I’m going to share what I came prepared to share the week before. For those of you that were at the Canada Day gathering, this will make sense. For those of you that weren’t there (in this […]

As you may have noticed, this weekend is a long one. Fantastic! More specifically, it’s the Canada Day long weekend. In a culture where it sometimes seems like every day has a label (Oh look – it’s “Honor Your Iguana” day!), it might be easy to forget that on this particular weekend we are that […]

When we were gathered last Monday evening (yep, MONDAY EVENING, 6:30 p.m., Frame Arts Warehouse, C Gallery – and if you are feeling overwhelmed with address information, just look for the sandwich board sign), Jason led us in an engaging group reflection and discussion. It turned out to be about lots of things, as these […]

Hello everyone! Happy weekend! This week at the Table, be reminded that we`re meeting Monday evening, not Sunday morning. I`m stepping up to chat about stuff, but I`m not entirely sure what to talk about yet. That is to say, I`m open to ideas. If you’ve got something you`d like to discuss, email me back […]

Reminder: The Table will begin gathering on Mondays at 630pm for the summer, starting THIS WEEKEND (June 17th).  So there will be no gathering on Sunday morning, but instead the following Monday morning.   See you all Monday evenings! The Table.

Hello Tablers.  I’ve had a very interesting and emotionally mixed week. Don’t we all, sometimes? This one has combined the joy of connecting with a variety of people from our community – people that have inspired me with their insight, their warm and caring hearts, their thoughtful approach to relationships and life in general – […]

This week the world lost a great man. His death won’t be a national news item; it might not even be a local news item. His name was Dr. Adebayo Olojuhngbe; Ade to most people that knew him. He is described by those who knew him best as a genius, advocate, awesome and magnanimous friend […]

We’re a fickle bunch, us Manitobans. Fair weather folks, it would seem, despite our stoic endurance of long and deep-freeze cold winters. I don’t know if you heard this particular news item today, but it seems that on this, the almost eve of the first long weekend of the camping season, campground reservations are down […]

I mean no disrespect by the subject line of this weeks email. Sometimes it seems like life is just full to the brim with worthwhile things to celebrate, to ruminate upon, to get engaged in. This Sunday at The Table feels a bit like that. We will, of course, note and celebrate the life-giving presence […]
