Gather Small & Love Deep

Ordinary Moments Matter I started using the phrase “gather small and love deep” long before I fully realized what it meant. Intuitively I knew the Turquoise Table was perfectly designed for four to six people—small gatherings.

Share the Love

Heading down her street for a brisk evening walk, Melissa saw the elderly woman, a neighbor she’d never met. Melissa had been reading the book “Anything” by Jennie Allen, and was mulling one of Allen’s messages – Reach Out.

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!
