The Table

Hello sisters and brothers from the Table!   This Sunday Elisa LeDesky will be exploring what it means to look for beauty (and Christ) in the stranger! As we take a look at Ephesians 1:15-23 and 1 John 4:16-18, we will ask ourselves where God is in our day to day grind.   Together we’ll grapple with the passages and pray for […]

Hello Tablers! Fair warning – this is a bit of a longer blurb. I suggest you read it all, as there is important info near the end. Yes, I did that on purpose… This week it feels like the possibility of winter ending is no longer a fantasy, and somewhere deep inside of me things […]

I had a conversation this week with the local autobody repairman. Because of the deer that ran into my van, we’ve gotten to know one another a bit. He seems to be a good-hearted man; kind beyond the bounds of what would be required to be socially adequate in commercial exchanges. He asked how we […]

I have had two surreal experiences in the last fifteen minutes. When I got into my car this morning, the thermometer on the dash said -29. That’s just cold. The surreal part came when I started to drive, and the thermometer started to drop – and then it just went blank. I think it froze. […]

All right…time for a bit of clarification. This Sunday morning will NOT be a “work morning”. We will NOT be cleaning up The Frame. In fact, it is far more likely that we will be making a mess. Our commitment as leadership at The Table is to use plain speech with the community – to […]

Hello community, Most of us know faith to be a dynamic, ever-changing set of understandings and interactions with God. Just think of what your faith was five or ten years ago. We run into trouble when set up some static ideal of faith in our minds. This Sunday I want to take some time to […]

Greetings Tablers! First of all, my deepest thanks for all of your expressions of concern and care regarding the home fire our family experienced this past Sunday. We feel surrounded (in the best sense of that word) and carried along by people that really do care, and that has been a lovely aspect of this […]

It’s a new year, and for me that suggests another chance. Chance for what? For the shame of failed resolutions? The stats say that only about 8% (yep, that’s right – I didn’t miss a zero) will actually follow through on the things we resolve to do in the new year. Still, the idea of […]

Hello Tablers! Hope your Christmastide has been a good one, with feasts for body and soul.  This weeks blurb is a bit different, so you may wish to read it (especially the first bit) with a bit more attention to prevent frustration on Sunday the 30th. There will NOT be a gathering at The Frame […]
