Summary
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:35
Table-Discipleship Principle: Creating an environment of beauty, comfort, and acceptance cultivates hearts that are open to your messages.
Creating a life-giving table begins with a vision for cultivating beauty and a hosting place for others.

-The table as a place to extend life and a hosting place to share Christ
-The promise we have that Jesus wants us to never feel alone or wonder where He is
-The personalities of our tables
-Commitment to ideals as important to sustaining vision
