Why Sharing Meals, Movements & Moments Matters
In a world that often feels disconnected, the simple acts of gathering, moving, and sharing a meal become profoundly sacred. Throughout history, breaking bread has symbolized unity, hospitality, and belonging, while movement—whether through water, breath, or shared adventure—reminds us that faith is lived, not just spoken. At Tide & Table, we believe that these ordinary moments hold extraordinary power. When we come together at the table, in the ocean, or on the mat, we step into a rhythm of connection that nourishes not just the body, but the soul.
Encounters at Tide & Table
Wisdom Lab
The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Beginning Monday, January 26, 2026
6:30-8:00 PM CT on Zoom
This winter, we’ll gather for a Wisdom Lab that travels across continents, histories, and wounds – guided by Ta-Nehisi Coates’ powerful book The Message. Coates writes with the raw honesty of a father, the sharp vision of a cultural critic, and the tenderness of someone trying to make sense of a fractured world. If you’re ready for a conversation that stretches the soul and invites deeper seeing – join us.

Walking the Waterline: A Guided Prayer Walk
Sundays, 4:00-5:30 PM CT
February 8th, March 8th
Walking the Waterline is a slow, guided prayer walk along the edge of the sea — the place where land and water meet, where things are always shifting.
We walk together in silence and reflection, pausing occasionally for short prompts drawn from Scripture, poetry, and lived experience. This is not exercise, therapy, or a Bible study. It’s a practice of presence — listening for God at the threshold between what has been and what is becoming. Click on "View Calendar" for more information.
Scripture At the Table: Bible Art Journaling
Sundays, 4:00-5:30 PM CT
February 22nd, March 22nd
Scripture at the Table is a quiet, creative gathering where we sit with a single passage and let it unfold slowly – through color, writing, prayer, and silence. It’s a space to trace a word that won’t let go, to paint what you can’t yet name, to let Scripture meet you where you actually are. Click on "View Calendar" for more information.
Tending the Shore: A Quiet Act of Care
Saturday, March 28th beginning at 8:30 AM CT
Tending the Shore is a quiet, communal act of stewardship—an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and care for what we love. This gathering is not about productivity or perfection. It is about presence.
We meet at the water’s edge to tend the shoreline together—gently collecting what the tide has left behind, listening to the rhythm of the waves, and remembering our shared responsibility to the places that hold us. We move at an unhurried pace, making room for reflection, silence, and simple conversation.
Afterward, we pause for a brief water blessing—washing our hands, releasing what we’ve been carrying, and giving thanks for the work of our hands and the grace that meets us in small acts of care.
