A Place at the Table

Lent Worship Series

Beginning February 22

So in the Gospel of Luke, some of Jesus' most profound teaching doesn't happen in synagogues or on hillsides, but around tables. Again and again, Jesus sits down to eat — with sinners and saints, Pharisees and outcasts, friends and strangers. We'll explore the moments in Luke's Gospel when Jesus shares a meal and, in doing so, reveals who he is and what God's kingdom is like.
