Thank you for having Pastor Dawn. I found a home at The Table but my daughter found The Table for me. Sitting there every Sunday listening to The Word. Pastor Dawn has brought me to tears most weeks, I as everyone walk away feeling that she is talking directly to me. she has renewed my faith in providing a safe place for me, my Trans brothers and sisters and my LGBTQIA+ family..
