Hope in God

Worship in November at The Table weaves inspiring music with prophetic messages as we wonder together: What are the grounds for hope in a wounded world?

Humility

The root of the word “human” is the same as the word “humility.” It all means literally “on the ground.” From dust we came, and to dust we shall return. When we hear each other’s fears, anxieties, and pain, we can return to the ground of hope… that we are all experiencing the pains of being human. This week, we remember to look first at our neighbor as a person, not a position. Beginning conversations this way may help us…

Death Defeated & Life Returned


Our four-week worship series in April holds readings from the Book of Acts alongside our hopes for creating community which is rooted in the ways of the Risen One for today. This morning’s worship is rooted in Acts 4 and the experience of resurrection’s defeat of death and restoring of life. Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI Streaming #094804

Easter

Our Easter worship celebrations are rooted in the account of resurrection from Mark’s Gospel. The women found the stone rolled away from the burial cave on that first Easter morning. Terror and amazement covered their bodies like a blanket; leaving them in silence. The faithful silence of the women creates space for the mystery and power of God’s presence to resound. Resurrection doesn’t just pull back the lid from an ancient tomb in Israel or uncover a single grave stone…

Action Verbs

CLIMATE + FAITH: A Lenten worship series at The Table on how we can help meet the greatest challenge in human history. We turn this week to Mark 11:1-11 and Palm Sunday. How does thinking about palm branches as a link to the exodus story, and “Hosanna” as meaning “Save us, we pray!”, change your experience of Palm Sunday? How does it enrich your experience of the movement for a healthy climate? Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI…

We make room

Luke’s Gospel tells us that when Mary gives birth to Jesus, she lays him in a manger, for there was no place for them in the guest room. Scholars argue about where, exactly, the birth occurs—and why. Was it in a stable or the living room of a simple peasant home? Was Bethlehem teeming with visitors who were also there to be counted in the census? Was Joseph’s family inhospitable because they disapproved of his marital situation? Regardless of where…

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 allow ourselves to be amazed

After Elizabeth gives birth, her neighbors and family celebrate with her. When it comes time to name the child, Zechariah affirms the name given by the angel and by Elizabeth. In that moment of affirming the promise, Zechariah’s speech is restored. Everyone is filled with awe. How often do you allow yourself to be amazed? Wonder is all around us—can we recognize it? As we learn how to rejoice in a weary world, can we live in a way that…
