Open Table Community Meals Every Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm: “Open Table” is a “pay what you can” ($0-$$) catered meal open to anyone. Chef Deb Beishline and a wonderful crew of volunteers prepare the menu each week always with GF and Vegetarian-friendly options (other needs can be accom-modated on request!). Our hope is to remember the gifts of connection with great food the chance to “rub elbows” with neighbors. The food is great, the company is better, the hungry are fed, and we pray the love Jesus will be shown!

Even if you don’t live near Lexington, you can unite your community too. Stand with your neighbors and family and friends where ever you find yourself. People from all walks of life are invited—neighbors, churches, clubs, nonprofits, cultural groups, to either join the big route across the city or host their own mini “Hands Across / Stand Together” gathering. The more the better! Your group can officially endorse the project, and help spread the word. Use the QR code for more info.
