Common Table Cafe - Everyone is welcome!
2026-04-08 17:00 - 18:15, 2026-04-15 17:00 - 18:15, 2026-04-22 17:00 - 18:15, 2026-04-29 17:00 - 18:15 (America/Chicago)
Practicing the essence of GRACE each week, the CTC strives to provide busy people with healthy, delicious food and experience of renewal mid week. All the food is free. Donors provide us with the staples and volunteer chefs cook the meals. Our goal is to provide wonderful meals – filled with good wholesome ingredients – that fill our bodies and souls with all that we need to be whole again.
Wednesdays from 5:00 – 6:15 PM during the academic year.
We practice generosity by sharing whatever we have to offer in a free will basket that is designated for an outreach ministry in our community or greater world. It is not about paying for food or any other costs associated with the Common Table Café. It is the kind of grace we can pass along to others on the days that we have something good to add to the greater goodness of the world beyond ourselves.
We invite you to donate and/or volunteer in any way you can for our Wednesday evening meals. Please contact Carrie Miller at carrie.miller@explorepeace.org with questions or to talk further about how to become part of this important ministry.

Coffee and Chocolate is a group that meets each week to contemplate and discuss the Revised Common Lectionary texts alongside the current world news. It is always a deep and lively conversation…and the chocolate and coffee are an added bonus.
Please join this group any time you might want to give it a try. It meets at 9:00 AM in the Fireside Room on Thursdays at Peace.
Locations and meeting dates occasionally change throughout the seasons. For more information or to be included in Coffee and Chocolate email communications, contact Pastor Doug Locken at doug.locken@explorepeace.org.
