100 tables

Bringing faith into everyday spaces and inviting everyone to the table.

We invite you to the table! To celebrate 100 years of the United Church of Canada (UCC), the UCC is gifting 100 communities of faith across Canada with a picnic table. Hope Springs is one of those communities! Our challenge: transform the table into a space of connection and welcome.

We went bigger than transforming one table! We’ve created 100 mini table kits for people in our community to build and decorate. We’re asking people who build and decorate a mini table to share a photo of their decorated table with us. We’ll use submitted photos to create a collage art piece for the top of the larger picnic table donated to us by the UCC. The larger table will stay at Hope Springs for anyone in the community to enjoy! The larger table and the mini table will also remind us that…

God is in the community where we gather, but also anywhere we go, God is already there.
