What your gift does
We’re a multiracial church. We want to divest from a white evangelicalism that flattens diversity and invest in worship as diverse as our congregation. Together, we hope to raise $15,000 to begin funding a half-time worship pastor. A church that sings together needs someone to help us find the song.
Who we are
The Table is an LGBTQIA+ affirming church in Washington, DC, that started with 12 people in 2013. We follow Jesus, who shows us what God is like, and because of him we work against racism, call people of every gender to lead, and welcome LGBTQIA+ people with no asterisks.
Why a song
Psalm 98 pictures all of creation praising God, each part in its own voice. Every gift adds a voice, whatever the amount.
The ring is “Joy to the World,” Isaac Watts’ paraphrase of Psalm 98. Each note fills in as a giver adds their voice, and the 150th voice finishes the song.
If you’re ever in DC, come sing with us Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 33 Riggs Road NE, inside DC Bilingual, or watch live online (opens in a new tab) at the same time.
