Above: A scene from Open Table in April 2010. Open Table is a free weekly dinner (Thursdays at 6:30). Folks of all ages, backgrounds, shapes, hues, theological viewpoints, and financial standing attend. Open Table has become the centerpiece of community life here. The menus are simple, collaborative, & always satisfying. Conversation  ranges from the very silly to the truly sacred.   Come & eat.
