THE FIRST Open Table community in Liverpool invites YOU to our seventeenth birthday celebration and communion service.

YOU are more than welcome to come as you are.

In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table service with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community.

17 years later, the Liverpool community hosts around 50 people each month, and 38 other communities now meet across England and Wales, hosting hundreds more each month, and reaching thousands online, with more to come.

We have much to celebrate!

Join us for a celebration and thanksgiving communion service led by Revd Lu Skerratt-Love, the newly ordained non-binary curate of the parish where Open Table Liverpool meets (Lu shared this reflection at Liverpool Cathedral’s Pride service last year), and Revd Dr Barbara Glasson, a Patron of the Open Table Network and former President of the Methodist Church in Britain.

Doors open at 6pm - refreshments will be served before the service at 6.30pm. The service will be followed by refreshments, and of course rainbow cake!

If you can’t join us in Liverpool, you can also join us on Zoom. For details, please email liverpool@opentable.lgbt
