At the Table

Faith communities gather around the Lord’s Table, i.e., the altar, regularly. It shapes our time together. What would it look like to expand on that concept and come together in community?

At the Table is a new ministry for Holy Cross. We will meet monthly at an area restaurant in a semi-private space. As we gather at the table, we will have the opportunity to share with one another through conversations about life and faith. Order from the menu* and enjoy good fellowship and food. Everyone will be responsible for their own charges.

On May 10 we will discuss the Theme: What Do We Expect?

Before the truth sets us free,it may make us miserable. Navigating life does not come wiht a manual. Our values, beliefs, experiences and throughts may challend preconceived ideas about how faith is supposed to meet our expectations. Church - of all places - needs to be one of those places where we are inclusive and reflective of our diverse and complex world.

Our faith makes extraordinary claims:

Regardless of who we are, we are created in the likeness of God
God intervenes in history to liberate the powerless
Life is sacred
Society is judged by the way it treats its weakest and most vulnerable
Between people there is a bond of righteousness/justice, mercy/compassion, forgiveness/love

What do we want from our faith when it comes to living life?

* This month we will handle the meal portion of the evening differently. We have arranged for a set price of $30 per person for a three-course meal (option of different entrees). This amount includes tax and gratuity. Beverages will be an additional charge.

We hope you will be able to join us!

We will meet on the second Tuesday of each month. We will begin to gather at 6:30 p.m. and will officially be finished no later than 8:30 p.m. We will respect the time boundaries and respect people joining and leaving as their schedule allows.

At the Table is for everyone and anyone in any situation. This is not limited to members of Holy Cross.
