For the next in our series of discussions about tables we share, we go on location to Well Grounded Coffee, where every Monday a group from St James meets for coffee & Conversation. We may have broken a rule by bringing an agenda to the group, but they were graciously hospitable and a ton of fun.

Inspired by a part of the book Faithful Presence - Seven Disciplines that Shape the Church for Mission, we continue to discuss how the tables we share are related and strengthen our understanding of the types of community that happen around them.
