Gathered Tables

Being a Community

DaySpringers are intentional about gathering around meals for conversation and connection. Through the years and through several iterations, we still sense the importance of connecting in these ways, even as we grow in number. Today we call these meals “Gathered Tables”. 


From February 9-16, DaySpring families will open their homes and host these meals all around the city.

 

Please sign up now to help hosts prepare and contact their guests for further instructions.

If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Brown or Tiffany Dossey

We all need to eat and drink to stay alive. But having a meal is more than eating and drinking. It is celebrating the gifts of life we share. A meal together is one of the most intimate and sacred human events. Around the table we become vulnerable, filling one another’s plates and cups and encouraging one another to eat and drink. Much more happens at a meal than satisfying hunger and quenching thirst. Around the table we become family, friends, community, yes, a body.
