The resources for Susanna’s Table have been developed by a team from across the Yorkshire West District.
Susanna’s Table is an invitation to gather around a table in Lent in your context and as you gather to create a place of Encounter, Fellowship and Learning. We hope that tables will gather across the District in homes, town centres, outside village halls, in churches, coffee shops and work places, to mention just a few of the possible places.
On this webpage you will find a number of resources to help you dream, plan and facilitate your expression of Susanna’s Table.
If you have any queries or questions about Susanna’s Table you can email the team on susannas.table@ywmethodist.org.uk.
Resources
The Main Resource – This tells you much more about Susanna’s Table and has all the resources you need. This can be downloaded here or ordered hard copy by emailing admin@ywmethodist.org.uk.
Editable Planning Sheets – These are included in the main resource but are here as Microsoft Word versions so you can fill them in as you plan then print them off to share with your team. There are two versions:

Individual Event Planning Sheet
Grant Form – We recognise that to do things well often needs funding, and that sometimes Local Churches are struggling for funds. To support different expressions of Susanna’s Table across the District, £25,000 has been set aside in the District Advance Fund to enable 100 x £250 grants to be claimed by Local Churches to support their Susanna’s Table.
If you would like to apply for one of these grants please complete this form and return it to the District Office.
