Title: Come to the table
Description: Kat may be new in her faith, but she's embraced the more radical implications of Christianity with reckless abandon.  She invited a homeless mother and her son to move into the apartment she shares with two other housemates.  And she's finally found a practical way to channel her passion for healthy eating by starting a food pantry at the church. But not everyone thinks the food pantry is a good idea.  When the woman she thought would be her biggest support just wants to "pray about it," Kat is forced to look deeper at her own motives.  Only when she begins to look past the surface does she see people who are hungry and thirsty for more than just food and drink and realizes the deeper significance of inviting them to "come to the table."
