The Table
The Table has been an exciting time thus far. There is a hope of something new that is blossoming each week. I have really enjoyed the fellowship and the sharing that has occurred during our gatherings. I didn’t realize how transforming it could be just to hear the thoughts of those sitting right next to me. To have discussions about different ideas and topics has brought me new understandings, has deepened relationships, and ultimately has showed that many of us are longing for similar things. I have enjoyed the fact that there is not a detailed plan for the future - this leaves room to organically grow into something the group as a whole is longing for. I have left each week with a "full cup” and look forward to the future ministries, outreach, worship, fellowship, or whatever else occurs at The Table in the future.
