Meet us at the Welcome Table!
Beginning October 2nd at 5pm...You're invited!!!
What is the Welcome Table?
We like to say that it’s a place to praise and graze. It seeks to reclaim the practice of the early church where people gathered at a table to eat and talk together. Jesus did it and so did the first Christians. Everyone was welcome then and now.
Do I just show up?
Yes! There’s no need to tell us you are coming. We will be glad to see you. We serve buffet style so there’s always room at the table. Also, we have Greeters who will take you to a table as well as a Table Host so you don’t have to worry about sitting alone.
What time should I arrive?
We serve the meal at 5 PM. You are welcome to arrive around 4:45 PM if you would like to get acquainted with us. Arrive closer to the hour, if you prefer to just slip into a seat. The entire experience from grazing to praising takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
What’s for dinner?
We serve simple food prepared by members of the community. There is a warm dish of some kind, salad, and bread along with dessert. We serve water, juice, coffee (regular & decaf) and tea (hot & cold). We provide vegetarian and gluten free options at each meal.
So that’s grazing part. What’s the praising part?
We are a community of love and acceptance with a more informal way of worshiping. Together, we listen to the Word of God from scripture and we listen to the Word of God speaking to us. Using conversation and everyday experiences, we share thoughts and ideas. We pray for the world and one another. And we do a little singing!
Are children welcome at Dinner Church?
Yes! With a diversity of generations present, we share a meal and some initial conversation. After dessert, children will be accompanied by youth leaders to their own space where they will participate in a Bible lesson involving art, music, drama, or a game.
Where is the Welcome Table located?
We gather in the Fellowship Room at the Hope of Christ Presbyterian Church at 44 W White St, Summit Hill, PA. Just come to the Market St entrance (near the corner of White & Market) and a Greeter will meet you and take it from there. We would love to get to know you so give us a try. Who knows, you may just meet your new best friend!
