at the table
Grandview Christian Church in Johnson City, TN is a church that I love very much (and where I served for ten years). They have just launched a very cool third service. It meets in the fellowship hall around tables. It is called The Table. It is a highly communal Eucharist centered service. It excites me in many ways. It is a creative idea,; it is liturgically sound; it represents the reality that the church is making room for more people to find a spiritual home, etc. I can’t wait till I get to visit TN again and worship at the table.
I would love for many of my readers to visit the blog of Grandview’s Senior Minister Aaron Wymer. Look at his pictures and offer a word of encouragement (ie. actually leave a comment). This is a church that has a kingdom impact that is disproportionate to its size because of its association with Milligan College and Emmanuel School of Religion. It is fitting for us to be in prayer and praise for this cool new ministry.
