from under the table to at the table

october 17th, 2026

The encounter between Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman is uncomfortable, challenging, and full of surprises. As a Gentile mother pushes back against the boundary placed before her, she invites us to reconsider who belongs at the table and whether we are humble enough to learn from those we have placed outside it. Join us as we explore what this story might teach us about the expansive mercy of God and a Church willing to be challenged as it participates in the mission of the Kingdom.

Thank you for visiting us this evening and joining our worship gathering. Awaken is a church of missional communities whose vision is to see individuals experience healing through the gospel, be raised to their fullest potential among community, and sent out to live a life on mission. Currently, our MCs gather together as one community twice a month for a time of worship, teaching, and celebrating stories of what God is doing in our midst. We hope you enjoy your time with us and, more importantly, that you find this expression of the Church to be authentic and engaging. Thank you for joining us!
