This fall, Peru Community Church will launch a new monthly program called The Open Table Gatherings, designed to bring people of all ages together around food, faith, and creativity.
Blending the Messy Church model (hands-on, intergenerational activities) with the Dinner Church model (shared meal and conversation), The Open Table Gatherings are built on progressive Christian values and open relational theology. Each evening features: A shared meal around the table. The meal will be provided! A short, down-to-earth message from clergy Creative stations for all ages (art, storytelling, prayer, service) Casual music and liturgy Space for honest questions and conversation
We wanted to create a spiritual space that feels like home. Many people are looking for community, but aren’t drawn to traditional church services. The Open Table Gatherings are about belonging, creativity, and shared life — not about sitting in pews or following a rigid format.
Everyone is welcome. There’s a seat for you at the table. |
