Table for All: Where Shared Bread Becomes Shared Life
Step into Wesley UMC’s Thursday night dinner church. An open table overflowing with home‑cooked meals, heartfelt stories, laughter, and prayer. Table for All is a fresh expression of the early church’s practice of breaking bread in community, inviting every neighbor, no matter their background, to belong, be loved, and behold the transforming presence of Jesus Christ.

Every Thursday evening something amazing happens in Wesley UMC’s fellowship hall. Tables fill with the aroma of a hot meal, chairs come closer, and strangers become friends over shared stories and laughter. We call this gathering Table for All—a dinner church that’s brand‑new to us yet as ancient as the first believers who met in homes, broke bread, and discovered Christ in one another.
Why We Gather
Vision: A Christ‑centered table where everyone belongs and tastes the transformative love of Jesus.
Mission: To open a space of welcome—through food, conversation, and prayer, so every neighbor can encounter God’s love in community.
Our church’s heartbeat—Belong, Beloved, Behold—flows naturally into this dinner‑church expression: you have a place, you are loved, and together we glimpse God’s presence.
What to Expect
A shared meal: hot food served family‑style, because fellowship begins with full plates and open hands.
Conversation & storytelling: honest dialogue, personal stories, and plenty of laughter around the table.
Prayer & worship: Scripture reflections, communal prayer, and simple songs that knit our hearts together.
Come once and you’ll feel it; the joy that rises when welcome is more than a slogan and church feels like coming home.
Pull Up a Chair
Skeptical, curious, lonely, hopeful—come as you are. Bring your kids, your doubts, your appetite. There’s room for you at Table for All, and the love of Jesus is waiting to meet you in the breaking of bread. Thursdays, Wesley UMC. Your seat is ready.
