WHAT TO EXPECT
AT GATHERINGS

Evenings at The Open Table are a time for community, conversation, hospitality and learning. We gather for a shared meal and dialogue every second and fourth Sunday at Second Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, 318 E 55th St. You are welcome to bring a dish to share, or simply be and enjoy the company of others. Childcare is available for ages 0-5 following the meal.

After dinner, we gather together to sing and to engage in facilitated discussion by diverse, locally-sourced speakers on topics that integrate spirituality, theology, and social justice. Previous topics have included: community organizing, immigration, racism, poverty, the environment, mental health, spiritual practices, biblical culture, and politics. We also have a sabbath rhythm of hosting quarterly musical Taizé services with meditation, silence, and songs based on scripture. We create spaces that bring together experts, activists, theologians, and those looking to learn from each other.
