CONNECT | TOTAL TABLE
It is a yummy meal with a small group of people you're meeting for the first time. The "Plus One" part of Total Table turns the table into a focused conversation about one of those fuzzy places where your faith and the real world intersect.
To add depth and vitality to the conversations, each table will include an extra-special guest with expertise and first-hand experience. They spend most of their time in that fuzzy place. With them will be one of our pastors to add a little theology and Bible to the conversation
- To eat a slow meal
- To meet more of the people you see on Sunday
- To listen to people that may challenge your ideologies, worldview, and stereotypes
- Because you're ready to read the world through the lens of your faith
What's So Monumental About Monuments? In the Bible monuments were stacked rocks, wells, and mountains; symbols pointing to a time with a story that was passed along orally from generation to generation. The same stack of rocks could compel different stories, even divergent versions of history.

Is access to clean water a basic human right? You could ask the question with many countries in mind; 1 billion people in the world lack access to clean water. We'll be focused on South Sudan where the problem of access to clean water seems especially unjust - South Sudan hosts the White Nile river and 50% of the population lacks access to clean water. As is the case in most places with water deficits, the problem has a solution.
