Open Table Eucharist

Open Table Eucharist

Open Table Eucharist will take place every second Sunday
at 4pm Emmanuel Church. Come as you are, everyone is welcome to come. Sunday 12th May is the next one

We stand with the Lgbtqia+ community and by being part of The Open Table Network we welcome and reach out to all those that have felt isolated in the past and want to build a strong foundation for the future.

Here are the words to one of the hymns
Song: - Come as you are
Come as you are, that's how I want you. Come as you are, feel quite at home. Close to my heart, loved and forgiven; come as you are, why stand alone?
No need to fear, love sets no limits. No need to fear, love never ends. Don't run away, shamed as disheartened. Rest in my love, trust me again.
I came to call sinners, not just the virtuous. I came to bring peace, not to condemn. Each time you fail to live by my promise, why do you think I'd love you the less?
Come as you are, that's how I love you. Come as you are, trust me again. Nothing can change the love that I bear you. All will be well, just come as you are.
