From Series: "At the Table // Having dinner with Jesus"

So much more than food is shared around the table. Conversation, connection, and care are passed back and forth with the roles and iced tea. Whether you're gathered with your family, a group of friends, or your colleagues in the breakroom, community is formed when we break bread together. In this six-week series, we'll spend time at the table with Jesus, observing the lessons He shared and the relationships He built. We'll learn, and then we'll be challenged to follow His example to share the love and compassion of Jesus with the people around us.
