You are invited to our next virtual gathering Sunday, 20th June and we’re celebrating our 13th Birthday!

In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community. Twelve years later Open Table has grown to see more than 40 people gathering at services monthly in Liverpool and has multiplied across England and Wales. There is much to celebrate.

While we can’t celebrate in person we will be gathering on Zoom.

Our Team Curate, Louis Johnson, who was recently ordained priest will lead a service of Holy Communion. Please do bring some bread and wine, biscuit & grape juice or any other combination you desire and we can share food together despite not being able to share sacramentally.

After the service, you are welcome to stay on for a chat and feel free to bring cake.

For those of you who are new to Zoom – when you join the call please help us by:

  • Choosing the ‘gallery view’ in the top right corner so you can see everyone on the call

  • muting your mics until you speak

  • choosing whether you would like to have your video on or off

  • being assured that this won’t be recorded

  • using the chat box function if needed

Our time together will be spent in a service then a chance to chat afterwards.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday evening.
