Something a it different for our summer (August) Kendal Open table gathering. Correct day and date this time! We will be taking time to use the ancient spiritual practice of a labyrinth to reflect and pray together. Meet from 6.15pm when finger food and drinks will be available and participate in preparing the labyrinth together. Then at 7pm there will be a very brief service, followed by the chance to walk the labyrinth and reflect and pray about how we would like to see our lives being transformed. Communion will be shared at the centre of the labyrinth. We meet as usual at Kendal United Reformed church, 106 Highgate, LA9 4HE. All are welcome at our services and activities. Come as You Are.

Those who were at our service yesterday will have heard me speak of the funding crisis currenlty facing our National network. The reasons why there is a funding crisis (ie it has become unacceptable to support trans-inclusive groups) is exactly why we need to support our Open Table network and communities. Please give even a little if you can!

LGBTQIA+ inclusive faith communities across the UK could lose their national support network. Open Table needs £16,000 by December.
