Gather 'round the Table 2009/10 New Life Church Theme
Every season (September - May), the messages and activities at New Life Church are focused around a theme. Please check back frequently, we will continually add information and resources Current Message Series - The Geography Of God
General Desription of Gather 'round the Table Theme “Today, like most days, people will gather around tables. Coffee tables, drawing tables, breakfast and dinner tables, boardroom tables, picnic tables and school tables. Families will discuss problems, joys and the details of the day. Deals will be made and divorce settlements finalized. Papers will be signed and friendships will be renewed. Milk will be spilt and puzzles will be solved, homework will be done and bills will be left unpaid. The table, maybe more than any other items, is universal, necessary and ordinary. It is around tables that life is lived, and it is at tables that, perhaps unexpectedly, God can be found.” Tod E. Bolsinger, It Takes A Church to Raise a Christian, p. 28. There are three primary environments we will focus on during this year. Questions from take home sheets will reflect these three areas – Communion Table (connecting with God), the Family Table and the Kitchen Table (spiritual friends and small groups). (A fourth environment flowing out of these three is the Service Table.) More information coming soon.
