Table of Grace is on pause while COVID cases remain high.
The Mission of Table of Grace is to feed those who are hungry and to nourish body, mind and spirit. Whether in need or in wealth, all are welcome at the table.
​In 2020, the Table of Grace Community Kitchen began serving bagged lunches outside the First Methodist Church of Brewster, and began serving hot lunches in December of 2021. In order to prioritize everyone's safety, we have paused serving lunches and will resume once the COVID situation looks better.
Worship Information
Star Words
If you were not in person in worship on Epiphany Sunday, you didn't get a Star Word! Just as we rely on stars for guidance, your star word can give you things to think about and sharpen your focus for 2022. For example, if the word you get is "freedom," you can notice where you and others are or are not free. If you'd like Pastor Melissa to randomly pick a star word for you, email pastor@katonahumc.org
