Your Tables

make it official

All across America, neighbors are getting to know one another at turquoise picnic tables in the most simple place of all — their front yards. From California to Maine, Turquoise Tables have become a symbol of hospitality and a welcome place to slow down and connect with friends and neighbors over a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea.

"Excited to use this table for bible studies and casual get-togethers, as well as a welcome/refreshment station by our parking lot!"
Judy, Waverly, NE
"We've had book clubs, birthday parties, work sesssions and gab fests at our table!"
Amy, Austin, TX
"Excited for neighborhood get-togethers and being Front Yard People!"
Stacey, Austin, TX
"Plan on using my table for casual get togethers, use by neighbors and those walking by, and once it cools down, an outdoor space for homework with the 4th grader."
Paige, Church Camp
Len, Calais, ME
"A place for folks to sit and get to know each other, enjoy the downtown area of a small community and enjoy the scenery overlooking our sister town St. Stephen New Brunswick Canada. These two outstanding young folks help us paint the tables."
Brooke, VA
The boys and neighborhood friends (and their messes) play outside at the table!
Gina, Dallas, TX
"Sharing God, shining for Him in our community, being available, having fun"
Rebecca, Spring Valley, CA
"We are using our table in our backyard for kids church for our church plant, which is meeting in our home. Our HOA made us move our table out of the front yard, but we won't be deterred from sharing hospitality with our neighbors!"
Laura
Megan, Lexington, SC
"We just moved to a new town and a new neighborhood. Our mission right now is to really get to know our neighbors. Like our actual physical neighbors. So we're spending time outside doing school and such at the table, and inviting the people we see walking by over to chat and have snacks!"
Laura, Austin, TX
"Our table is a casual meeting place for neighbors to gather, laugh, and support each other"
Neissa
Raquel, Austin, TX
"We want to be a blessing to our neighbors. We want to provide a place where we can gather to know and be known by those who live around us."
Deanna, Pelzer, SC
"So far, in the 3 months that our table has been in the front yard, we have had neighbors stop by for morning chats over coffee, to ask for prayer... and our table has generated many comments of the loveliness of the piece in the unexpected place in our yard. I keep fresh flowers on the table, cut from the yard, or seasonal plants like mums for Fall, with the expectation that our Front Yard says "Welcome, stop by for a visit, you are loved."
Grace Fellowship pastor gathering
Stephanie, Florence TX
"We have only lived here a few months. We attend Celebration Church in Georgetown Tx and learned of the turquoise table story yesterday. We ran out and got a table and paint. We painted ours purple to connect it to our small town. We hope to meet more of our neighbors and share God's love and grace with them."
Ruth, Kalamazaoo, MI
" We live in a cul-de-sac full of young families and wanted a place for the parents to sit and watch the kids play, for the kids to sit and do crafts, a place to gather, eat and drink together, for dog-walkers to have a place to rest and to have a talking point to spread the word of the turquoise tables and build on an already thriving community."

Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a br Inauguration January 20, 1993. 🇺🇸 I was a bright-eyed, young Hill staffer, full of enthusiasm for politics, our government, and America. I actually thought I’d be a senator or maybe even President one day. 🤪

I’m more realistic, reserved and battle weary thirty years later. But, I still believe in a place called hope.
Winter wonderland in #atx 🤷🏻‍♀️❄️🙌🏽
Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happ Said goodbye to 2020 and welcomed 2021 in our happy place @ymcarockies We’ve packed it all in— sledding, skating, hiking, vision boards, celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and kicked off the New Year this morning with a 5k. I even found time to sit and stitch by the fire. 

Sure feels like we are making up for lost time and setting our hope for the year ahead. Happy New Year friends!!

No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll No coffee on the porch for me this morning! I’ll stay by the fire. We made the 16 hour trek to start the new year in our happy place. We’ve never been here the week between Christmas and NYE and we’re excited to explore in the snow. ❄️ I’m already laughing at our summer stash of clothes we keep here —cotton leggings, hoodies, and fishing boots. Feel free to laugh with and at me. Also winter friends—give me all your tips.
