Brunch: Prepare and cook a yummy brunch meal for Sunday! We suggest preparing enough food for about 10-15 people, and listing any possible ingredients that may conflict with anyone’s diets (dairy, gluten, nuts, etc). You may also use the church kitchen to prepare your meal! Meals are at the volunteer’s expense, and is a generous contribution to The Table OC.
Caring Hands Meal: We prepare to-go meals for our unhoused neighbors and those who are experiencing food insecurity. The food is provided by the Caring Hands Pantry, and volunteers prepare and serve the meal packages. Prep begins in the Parish Hall at 5:00pm, and then we serve the meals from 6:00-6:30pm.
“For where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them.”
Matthew 18:20
Rev. Jaz Bowen-Waring
Pastor & Mission Developer
From life as a former evangelical Children’s pastor, to a queer Lutheran rabble-rouser, Jaz Waring (They/Them) has spent their adult life pursuing the call of God and creating spaces where people feel they belong. Jaz is an ordained minister of word and sacrament in the ELCA, and has a Master’s of Divinity from Luther Theological Seminary. Currently they are Pastor and Mission Developer at The Table OC in Fullerton, CA. In January 2019, they launched an LGBTQ+ centered ministry called Queerfully & Wonderfully Made, a “queer variety show with depth and meaning.” When Jaz isn’t manically obsessing over ministry and queer theology, they like to spend time with their gracious wife, Melanie, and their dog, Bowie.
