The Common Table: Complete Set

All three volumes of The Common Table, Year One. Pulpit Edition for the pastor, Circle Edition for the youth leader, Floor Edition for the children's director. Buy two, the third is free.

Most churches teach three unrelated things on a Sunday morning. The pastor preaches one text, the youth group covers another, the children color in a third, and by the drive home there is nothing to talk about.

The Common Table puts a whole congregation on one Scripture and one Big Idea every week for a year, pitched three ways. Fifty-two weeks, three volumes, one text at a time, following the church calendar from Advent through Easter to ordinary time.

Every week each volume also carries a Family Table page: the questions that turn "what did you learn today" into an actual conversation between a parent, a teenager, and an eight-year-old who have all just heard the same thing.
