All summer long, we’re asking one simple question:

What would it look like to actually gather? 

Not just grab coffee or catch up over text, but sit down, slow down, and be genuinely present with the people in front of us. And not just the people we already know well. You don't need a big apartment, a perfect menu, or a carefully planned evening. Just a willingness to open your door, pull up a few extra chairs, and make room for someone else at the table.

If you're interested in hosting a table, consider this an invitation.

Host a Table

Three things to remember this summer

COME TO THE TABLE

Receive the gift first.

The early church met in homes, and their gathering was centered around a shared meal. They ate bread and drank wine in remembrance of Jesus — who taught His disciples to do so at His last supper.

Part of living this summer "at the table" means daily thanking Jesus for His sacrifice. It means receiving His gift of grace, and allowing it to give us new life.

Whether you are eating alone or eating with others — pause and spend a moment worshipping Jesus before you eat. You are invited to come to the table.

PREPARE THE TABLE

Radical hospitality starts here.

We want to be a people known for showing radical hospitality. Hospitality is about so much more than preparing food and setting a beautiful table. It is about creating an atmosphere in which people feel welcome, seen, heard and valued.

Listening is perhaps the highest form of true hospitality — allowing space for others to share their lives with you, and embracing them just as they are.

We invite you to approach summer meals with others as an extension of the love of Jesus. Offer your full attention, listen to each other's stories, and make room for new friends in your heart.

EXTEND THE TABLE

Make room for the stranger.

There is so much beauty in the image of a family dinner table — but it implies that the invitation is limited in scope. Throughout Scripture we see that God's desire is for the whole world to come and eat at His table together.

"When you host a dinner, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind — and not only your closest friends and relatives."
— Luke 14:12–14

Who can you invite to eat with you that may not know yet?  You don't need a big apartment, a perfect menu, or a carefully planned evening. Just a willingness to open your door, pull up a few extra chairs, and make room for someone else at the table.

THE ABUNDANCE

Join us as we aim to host 100 tables this summer

The gift only works when it keeps moving. One table becomes two. Two becomes ten. Ten becomes a city that knows how to welcome a stranger. Our hope is to see 100 tables pop up this summer.
