This Sunday is going to be special. I know – every Sunday at The Table is special! But not every Sunday is Souper Sunday, and it is a rare day indeed when we get a “normal” gatheriing, Souper Sunday, and an Annual Meeting all for one great price…oops, must have mistaken church for the mall! […]

The Comfort of Ecclesiastes…
As I write this I’m listening to an old record album I have of The Byrds greatest hits. The song playing is “Turn, Turn, Turn.” Those of you familiar with the song will be well aware that the lyrics are culled from the famous passage found in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes. For those of […]

The Cross or the Golden Arches?
I remember reading somewhere that the most common symbol in the world used to be the cross until it was displaced by the golden arches of Mcdonalds. I have no idea if that is a “fact”, but for me it connects with an interesting question. The symbol of the cross is ubiquitous – once you […]

And…. WE'RE BACK!
We’ve been off the radar for a little while now, so we apologize for the lack of online communication during that time! We’re up and running again now and we’re putting the pieces of our site back together. Keep in mind, the disruption in online communication does not reflect upon our real life community that […]

Communication Breakdown…
Today my son Tirian and I had a collision. He was riding his bike, and I was standing near where he was riding. I thought he was going one way, he thought I understood he was planning to go the other and would get out of the way. He ploughed into me going full tilt. […]

Wow! I’m impressed with how many folks have been making it out to our Monday night gatherings over the course of the summer. We might not be a community that is mighty big, but we are a group that shows it is committed in other ways. Thanks for making our gatherings a priority, even in […]

Life's GPS…
A few years ago, Zee and I took a trip to Italy; which included a 10 day road tour through Italy and Sicily with a car we rented in Rome. Before we left on the trip, I purchased a GPS that we came to fondly call “Nuvi”. There were times when Nuvi seemed to take […]

Stronger than Science, Doctrine, & Faith…
I saw a movie a number of years ago called “Inherit the Wind.” It was an old movie with old movie stars like Spencer Tracy and Gene Kelly who played Southern lawyers defending a educator accused of teaching Darwinism in the 1920s. Darwinism was a touchy subject then, it was a touchy subject in the 1960 […]
