Crestway Baptist Church – Come to the Table

  • by

On February 17, 2018, Crestway Baptist Church graciously invited Grace Klein Community to share how the Lord is teaching us to “Come to the Table” at their Annual Ladies’ Fellowship Luncheon.

The ladies of Crestway Baptist Church hosted a precious intentional time with scripture, worship, homemade food, and door prizes. What an encouragement, the hugs, smiles and authentic conversation brought unity and purpose to a Come to the Table gathering. As a surprise to Grace Klein Community, an offering was collected to purchase Bibles for one of our Global Ministry Partners, Kwathu Ministries.

Loneliness is epidemic. Social media is not solving our longing of intimacy. Our hearts are longing for community. God created us to listen and talk, to fellowship, to break bread together. Dear friend, if you are not inviting friends to your table, please do not overthink the details of how or when or what, courageously start.

Come to the Table 

We invite you to simply begin by visiting our office (2652 Old Rocky Ridge Road, Hoover, AL 35216.) We are open Monday – Friday: 08:30 am – 5:30 pm. Come for the intentional purpose of inviting friends to your table.

What to expect:

      • Mondays – fresh donuts, fresh bagels, salad kits

      • Thursdays – fresh pastries and homemade breads
      • Monday – Friday – fresh produce, milk and a variety of surprises
      • Sundays – protein, fruit and veggies
      • GKC is closed the Sunday after Food Delivery Saturday as we give all possible resources away that Saturday.
