Drawn together by our common desire to love and follow Christ, we do not require conformity to any specific doctrine or teaching. Our core community is made up of students and young professionals, is supported by ordained ministers, and welcomes all who desire to exercise and receive Christian hospitality.

“Hospitality, therefore, means primarily the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.”

– Henri Nouwen

Our community’s rhythm is punctuated by both core and satellite events. Core Events are organised collaboratively by members of our four partner denominations. Satellite Events are organised by local churches, groups, or individuals who are associated with the Open Table community.

We gather monthly for a common meal followed by an optional discussion or activity.

These gatherings, alongside our website, are portals to many activities taking place in local churches, the local community and beyond. If you’re looking to meet new people, to explore Christian spirituality or access pastoral support, feel free to pull up a chair and join us.

The Open Table is supported by the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the Ottawa Presbytery of the United Church.

October Monthly Meal + Random Acts of Pie-ness

Come and join us for good food and good company. All young adults welcome.

Event Details

Come and join us for good food and good company at All Saints Sandy Hill, 317 Chapel St @ Laurier. Enter from Laurier.

We eat. We meet. We reflect. And we connect – with each other, with God, and with the community. As we do so, in community with one another, we try to work out what it means to be faithful in the midst of work, school, family, and relationship. In short, our community seeks to encourage one another as we connect the dots between faith and real life.

Sunday, October 28th, 2012. Doors open at 4:00pm. It’s free and fantastic.

Special event this month: Random Acts of Pie-ness
Open Table will go to the Byward Market and hand out pieces of pie to the homeless and anyone else passing by, just to brighten someone’s day. Want to be a part of something that makes the world a better place, one random act of generosity at a time? Arrive at All Saints at 4pm. If you can, please bring one or more pies with you. No pie? No worries, come anyway. There will be extra pies on hand.
