OPEN TABLE LAUNCH PARTY
Wednesday, April 20, 6:30 p.m., Sumners Hall
The Open Table formation program at St. David’s seeks to create a welcoming space for members of the LGBTQ+ community to come together and explore a variety of topics through presentations, film screenings, book studies, and journey groups. There will also be a quarterly fellowship and a quarterly Eucharist. These monthly offerings will usually be on Wednesday nights.
Join us on April 20 for pizza and conversation. We want to share our vision for Open Table and, most importantly, we want to hear from you about the kinds of topics and activities you would like to see offered at Open Table.
