Open Table
We are part of the Open Table Network - a growing partnership of communities across England and Wales which welcome and affirm people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer or Questioning, Intersex and Asexual, plus their families, friends and anyone who want to belong in an accepting, loving community.
Faith groups can often be cold or hostile towards us, and this can leave us truly isolated; just at the very times when we need affirmation of love, worth and belonging.
Our group of churches
have agreed to be part of the inclusive church charity and we are happy to
support the OTN. We meet, in person at St Matthew's Church, Harwich Road
on the the
second Sunday of every month, starting with refreshments at 4.00pm. We hope and pray that this is a place where those
who have been excluded from church in the past, will be able to find God
and know his love for each one of us.
As the name suggests, ‘Open Table’ is our open invitation to you to come in, just as you are, and be with us, in a safe, affirming community.
