Guest at Your Table is a meaningful and simple way to incorporate faith in action into your congregation's worship experience, or into your family's life.

For the duration of the program, families keep a Guest at Your Table box in a prominent place in their home and get to know their special Guests through Stories of Hope. Leaders and members of your congregation will make announcements and publish brief articles, keeping Guest at Your Table at the forefront of your congregational activities. You can find resources to guide you through the program here on this website.

The Guest at Your Table tradition has built lasting connections to UU faith in action for more than thirty years. Join nearly every congregation in the country — and around the world — in welcoming a Guest at Your Table.
