“No good thing will God withhold from those who walk with integrity”
— Psalm 84:11
St Bride’s and Open Table Liverpool invites YOU to our sixteenth birthday celebration and communion service.
YOU are more than welcome to come as you are.
In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table service with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community. On the cover of the early orders of service was the above quote from Psalm 84 from which this celebration takes inspiration.
16 years later, the Liverpool community hosts around 50 people each month, and more than 30 other communities now meet across England and Wales, hosting hundreds more each month, and reaching thousands online.
We have much to celebrate!
Join us for a celebration and thanksgiving communion service led by the The Revd Canon Dr Robert Clack, Associate Archdeacon of Liverpool.
Doors open at 6pm - refreshments will be served before the service at 6.30pm. The service will be followed by refreshments, and of course rainbow cake!
Otherwise, feel free to continue to tune in on zoom (see below for joining details.)
We look forward to welcoming you either in person or on zoom!
