Women's Retreat
May
3
to May 5

Women's Retreat

Speaking biblically, hospitality is treating strangers and friends alike. It is welcoming one another into our lives as well as our homes and hearts. Hospitality is a sacred duty and part of fulfilling the command to love one another. The greatest act of hospitality was Christ’s hosting of us in his own body on the cross and we seek to imitate him through generous love towards others.

So how do we increase our capacity to love? Join us as we take time away to consider this and many other questions at our retreat this year. Anna Spray, Naomi Yeker and Liz Snell will be taking turns in teaching and Anne McNish will be leading our worship time. The wonderful Emily Lycopolus will be cooking incredible food!

Date: Monday, January 29

Time: 5:30pm to 7:30pm

Place: The Hall, Church of Our Lord

Please RSVP to andy@tablechurch.ca.

What is Kaleo?

Kaleo is The Table’s leadership and discipleship program. At it's core, the Christian faith is a call (or “kaleo” in Greek) to follow Jesus in all spheres of life. The Bible describes this commitment as discipleship, a blend of a lifelong apprenticeship and ongoing spiritual formation.  Jesus himself told his leaders to always make this a major priority (see Matthew 28).

Much of what we do at The Table revolves around trying to connect the dots between spiritual life and practical life, and we've heavily invested in one . We call it Kaleo: a Call to Gospel Formation.

Four Week Lent Study on Fasting

  • 1338 Grant Street Victoria, BC, V8R 1M3 Canada (map)

Join us on Wednesdays for four weeks during Lent to learn about & practice fasting! Fasting seems hard and intimidating to me (Naomi) but I am curious to learn more about what is said to be one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. The Fasting Practice aims to train us in this ancient discipline, integrating our whole body into life with God. 

Each night we will watch a 30 minute video from Practicing The Way, discuss and share about the ways we have been practicing what we’ve learned.

The themes are:

  • February 21, 2024 -To Offer Ourselves to God

  • February 28, 2024 - To Grow in Holiness

  • March 6, 2024 - To Amplify Our Prayers

  • March 13, 2024 - To Stand With the Poor

Dates: Wednesdays - Feb 21, 28 and Mar 6 and 13

Time: 7:30pm

Location: 1338 Grant Street (Tim & Michelle’s house)
