Bishop’s Table

The Bishop’s Table is an intentional extension and deepened inclusion of the Bishop’s Company. As we learn from our new hymn, it is better to build a longer table than a higher fence. With a full heart, I invite you and other cherished friends to come to the table on November 8th from 11am-2pm for nourishment, to be in each other’s company, for inspiration, and to receive a special gift and token of appreciation and connection.
