The Sabbath Table

Every other Friday evening. Seating 8–10. And this fall - in the Orangerie, creekside. By invitation.

Why We Gather This Way

We live in a world that rarely slows down. The Sabbath Table is our sacred pause — a time to stop, rest, delight, and worship, the way people have done for thousands of years.

As we gather, light the candles, and bless the bread and wine (we serve grapejuice), we step out of the rhythm of work and into the rhythm of rest. This shared meal becomes our threshold into Sabbath — a pause where we stop striving, slow down, and remember what truly matters.

The table is the doorway into delight, connection, and renewal.

It isn't complicated. It's countercultural. And we believe it's deeply needed.

As pastor Matt Canlis has said: "The Sabbath is not your reward for finished work — it is your rescue from unfinished work."

What An Evening Looks Like

The table is set with candles, simple food — sourdough, a light soup, salad — and enough seats for 8 to 10 people. Blessings are spoken. Communion is shared. Scripture is read, prayers are offered, and conversation goes wherever it needs to go.

There's no agenda. No program to get through. Just a shared meal, an unhurried evening, and the kind of worship and conversation that only happens when people feel safe enough to be known.

By the time the evening closes, something has usually shifted — not because anything dramatic happened, but because for a few hours, everyone at the table remembered they were beloved.
