Are you hungry for spiritual nourishment, biblical community, and authentic connection with other Christian women?
Well, pull up a chair at the Table. In late 2023, God brought five friends together and invited us to create an online Facebook community in partnership with Him. Yes, yes, yes…we know how many of us feel about Facebook. It’s not always positive. It can drive comparison culture and stir up division. We get it. But, it’s also the very place God called us to go to create Across the Table, a private Facebook group.
Across the Table is a community for Christian women to come “sit together” and receive spiritual nourishment, biblical encouragement, and authentic connection.
Why “Across the Table”?
Funny thing about tables. You really can pull up a chair just about anywhere and connect with someone, whether it’s a granite kitchen island in a southern suburb, a wooden farm table in Wyoming, or the hightop in a church lobby. When you sit down at a table with someone, you make a connection. You share a story. You encourage one another. You pray together.
We see this community we want to build as one that invites Christian women to “sit at our kitchen table.” The topics we cover are like coffee and conversation with a neighbor. And when you pull up a chair Across the Table from other women, God will work in and through you to pass salt and light to others…and receive them both yourself.
