Around the Table (Ashley Moore) by Matt Rawle
Colossians 4:7-18 | Andrew Murch | Sitting on the floor of a Roman prison and bound in chains, Paul concludes the dictation of his letter to the church in Colossae. In his usual format, Paul closes the letter by extending his greetings to the complex network of leaders connected with his churches across the Roman world. After all that Paul has written to the Colossian church, this is what he wants to leave them with. Also, this means that after all that the Holy Spirit has inspired Paul to write to His people, this is what He wants to leave His people, us, with. It's easy to neglect these greetings and skim through them, but they matter just as much as every other word of Scripture - let's see why!
We all eat as part of our normal routines! Jesus was obviously the same, using the opportunity to meet with others, sharing His life with a wide variety of people so that they might know more about what God is calling them to do. Jesus put love in action through both His words and by what He did - consider His washing of His disciples' feet at the end of the Last Supper.In this final Talk in this Series, we also remind ourselves that as we meet together, we are gathering with a specific purpose. We primarily meet to behold God. Everything useful derives from that. May God open our eyes to see His glory and know Him as the Way, the Truth and the Life.You can read the script for the whole Service here.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Jessie-Sierra Ross, founder of Straight to the Hips, Baby, and author of “Seasons Around the Table: Effortless Entertaining with Floral Tablescapes & Seasonal Recipes.” Ross took the leap from prima ballerina into the food and cooking world, after she retired from professional dance. “I started cooking at my mother's side at six or seven years old, just fascinated by not only the chemistry of bringing food together and the sort of food is love aspect, but also just spending quality time with my family,” Ross explains. “That passion for food continued to grow with me, even if I couldn't always indulge: my daily staples were yogurts, oranges and bowls of chicken soup, but that didn't stop me from the occasional cocktail and slice of brie.” Once Ross' blog took off, she started doing food photography and styling, magazine articles and TV work. Her recently released cookbook, “Seasons Around the Table,” covers the four seasons, and melds garden, home decor, lifestyle and food and drink. The linchpin is entertaining: inviting people to the table and creating beautiful tablescapes for people to enjoy. “There's nothing better than a little coffee, a little cake and a little kibitz,” she says. “We eat to remember, we eat to connect, we eat to nourish, we eat to love.” Jessie-Sierra Ross talks about her backstory and how it led to “Seasons Around the Table,” along with tips for simplifying the entertaining processes, creating showstoppers, and bringing family history to the table. She also shares her recipe for apple and pear crumble, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts. “It doesn't have to be a special occasion to make a special meal,” she says. “Focus on the flavors, focus on the food and obviously the guests.” Learn more at StraightotheHipsBaby.com and follow @StraighttotheHipsBaby on Instagram and Jessie-Sierra The Last Bite on Substack.

Hey, it's Amy Newmark with a couple of fun Thanksgiving stories for you as we head toward the winter holiday season. We have a new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tales of Christmas, that has lots of Thanksgiving stories in it, plus a few about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, and then of course the vast majority about Christmas. But I was struck by how many great stories we got about Thanksgiving this year, way more than usual. Thanksgiving is traditionally a family event, but it does lend itself even more than Christmas does to inviting non-family members. And that's what we're talking about today.

In the sixth installment of our series "Around the Table," Pastor Lisa Ashton teaches from Luke's account of the Lord's Supper in Luke 22:7-38. She walks us through some of what it may have been like in that upper room and how, as He often does, Jesus did things in a way the disciples were not expecting. We learned about the parallels between the Passover meal and the Lord's Supper (Communion, Eucharist). And then we tried to honor His words to "Do THIS in remembrance of Me" with a communion experience.

Commonway's new lead pastor, Steve Gill, kicked off our new sermon series "Around the Table." Steve taught from Luke 5:27-32 and invited us to think about who in that story we are most like right now; one of the "sinners" at the feast, Levi (Matthew) the former tax collector turned Jesus-follower, or Jesus. We were challenged, as Jesus followers, to walk in relational proximity and relational intimacy with others; and reminded that around the table is a great place to do that.
As we conclude our summer series, “Life Around The Table,” we reflect on how this symbol of connection has been part of our daily lives. Last week, we discussed the importance of showing up even during tough times. Today, we explore how the early church centered their community around the table, defined by fellowship, shared meals, and collective prayers, rather than worship style, pastoral personalities, or location.
