Gather In My Name

Sometimes things come together at the perfect time. Melinda was looking for some ideas that could re-energize the adult discipleship and women’s ministries at her church – Westminster Presbyterian in Lubbock, TX – where she is an elder. Her church community is very strong, but naturally programs need to be changed up from time to time to keep them fresh….

Hospitality Means Loving Strangers

I’m not really a short cut kind of girl. I’m afraid I’ll miss something exciting in my haste. Plus, I have a serious, perhaps incurable, case of wanderlust.

Bless Your Art

At its heart, The Turquoise Table movement is about connecting with neighbors. It’s about turning acquaintances into friends. It’s about gathering around the table to share great conversation, coffee and meals, and support for those around us.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
