A Place At The Table
A Place at the Table is an opportunity to take a step from experiencing The Link as a crowd to a community. Everyone gets to bring a main dish and either a salad or a dessert and find your place at a table with people you don’t know or maybe only greeted on a Sunday morning. The table hosts will facilitate a conversation with questions that will help us get to know one another. Our first event is Thursday night October 15th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm. Come and join us, there is a place at the table for you!

This Fall, we invite you to join us on a spiritual journey as we embark on “Practicing the Way”, a course designed to get you started on the journey of spiritual formation, help you get unstuck if you’ve stalled out, or just guide you into taking your next step. The goal is to “train you to live as an apprentice of Jesus: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did . . . an experience that will lay the foundation for a life of apprenticeship to Jesus that you can build on for decades to come”. —John Mark Comer and Practicing the Way
