The Table Church DC

Whether we are poor, blind, imprisoned or oppressed - we are all invited to Jesus’ party.  We are all invited to the table.  Join Toochi as we continue to look at the book of Luke and how hospitality and humility go hand in hand when we’re living with Jubilee spirituality.

What would it look like if we lived our lives in a way that welcomes Jubilee? How would it benefit others around us? Join Topher as we continue our series in Luke and see Jesus send out the 72 disciples.

In Luke 12 Jesus tells his disciples not to worry about what they will eat or drink or how they will clothe themselves but to have faith for God knows our needs.  Join Erin as we look at this text and learn how to bridge the gap between the worries of our daily lives and the jubilee that the Creator desires for us.

Elder Daniel continues the series in Luke and looks at how Jesus teaches and embodies a spirituality grounded in liberation. Jubilee spirituality is meant to be shared with more than just yourself and it directly counteracts the desire to keep good news and keep goodness to yourself and to people like you.

The Table Church begins it's summer series about how to be a good person when the world is on fire. How do we avoid the temptation of trying to be super human or living as subhuman in the midst of all the tragedy and pain? What does a Christian spirituality look like where the day-to-day can re-humanize us? What kinds of shrewd practices do we need to undergird such a subversive spirituality?

Join Pastor Tonetta as we conclude our series around faith, sexuality and the erotic. 

Join us as we continue to discuss sexuality, the divine and the erotic and how that intersects with all members of the church community.

Sunday, May 7, 2023. What is prayer when we don't believe our prayers make any difference? What is prayer when we aren't transformed by friendship with God? Pastor Tonetta introduces us to what it is to set all of our systematic theology aside (for a moment) in order to have a moment with God.

Sunday, April 16, 2023. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. The good news: we can heal from trauma!  The bad news: abuse and trauma can make the things that can bring healing seem bad. It is a clinically proven fact that the one thing that can help someone heal from abuse, neglect, or trauma is relationship.  In foster and adoptive world, where I come from, children that suffer neglect or abuse begin to fe...

Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. Before the resurrection, the Gospels set the scene: disbelief, doubt, grief, fear, and lament. Your hard emotions aren't keeping you from God. In fact, they are the very thing that may lead to your encounter with the Divine.

Sunday, February 26, 2023. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. Jesus was not a centrist. He did not command us to not make enemies. We need to be able to name our enmities in order to overcome them.

Sunday, February 12, 2023. This year we're introducing Theology Cafe. We're going to start questioning the default by looking at the wide variety of other ways of constructing our theology. Everyone does theology. Even the statement, "I don't need theology," is a form of theology.  Our plan for 2023 is to every few months take a look at a different lens and experience of theology. Feminist, Asian...
