Catalysts. Laborers. Visionaries.…

For Most This Amazing Day

Rev. Brian McLaren writes about “Radical Resilience” in this way, “Each of those words is important. The word “radical” means going to the root, going to the depths, going beneath the surface…. So, radical resilience means radical, deep attention to the deepest roots of resilience. “Resilience” is the capacity to withstand and recover from hardship or difficulty. It has to do with the ability to spring back into shape after you’ve been beaten down or knocked over or bent over.”…

We Sing Stories of Hope


In Luke 1 as soon as Zechariah’s voice returns, his first words are gratitude and blessing. He sings a story of hope. After Elizabeth proclaims blessings upon Mary, Mary sings: “My soul magnifies God; my spirit rejoices in God.” Mary sings about a God of liberation who pulls the powerful from their thrones and lifts up the lowly. Mary sings a story of hope, one in which justice and joy are interwoven. As we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth, may…

We find joy in connection

This Advent we acknowledge the weariness, grief, rage, and hopelessness we carry—and we also affirm that we are made for Joy and Connection. In community our Joy expands.

Through the prophet Isaiah, we hear God speak tender words of comfort; this is the comfort we can give to and receive from each other during this season. Worship online with thetable.live.

While conservative interpreters might believe that prophets were predictors and progressives tend to believe the prophets to be simply social advocates, Dr. Walter Brueggemann argues that the prophets were “emancipated imaginers of alternative.” Emancipated from the dominant thinking of their societies, the prophets imagined an alternative reality and invited listeners to join them in their commitment to that new reality. This four-week worship series in November at The Table will invite our community of faith to reflect upon the themes…

Went Free

The Table was initially planted 13 years ago with worship beginning in October of 2010. We’ll celebrate this milestone with worship focused on JOY throughout October. We will hold the book “Inciting Joy” by Ross Gay alongside the Gospel readings for the global Christian church. This week we hold Ross Gay’s essay entitled “Went Free” alongside the Great Commandment & Baptism. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804
