Palm Sunday - March 24

We celebrated Palm Sunday with our “mullet service” as we worshiped in the front and partied in the back! This was a bitter sweet Sunday as we gathered together to celebrate the Albaugh family and their faithfulness to The Table these past years! From a lowly Panera bread in the fall of 2019 to the expansion of the house church movement in the East Valley of Phoenix. Pastor Ryan and his family have been a solid foundation in the storms and gentle breezes of our lives. We are so thankful for each of them and are prayerfully sending them to their next ministry assignment in Northern California. Below are some word from Pastor Ryan about their next steps as they transition to Watz Naz!

After much prayer and contemplation, I'm excited to announce that I've accepted a new ministry assignment as the lead pastor at Watsonville Church of the Nazarene in Northern California! While our family is filled with anticipation for this new chapter, it comes with a bittersweet feeling as we prepare to leave our beloved friends and community in Arizona.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at The Table for the incredible journey we've shared together. It's been an honor to serve in planting The Table and as Co-Lead Pastor alongside Trevor Jay Cherryholmes for the past four years. I'm confident in the leadership of Pastor Trevor and Pastor Christy as they guide The Table into its next season of ministry in Mesa.

My last Sunday at The Table will be Easter Sunday, March 31st, and I invite you all to join us as we celebrate and say farewell. Your presence would mean the world to us!

Although our time at The Table is coming to an end, our journey in the valley will continue until the end of the school year, the end of May, before we make the big move. We cherish these remaining months with our community and look forward to making the most of our time together.

Please know that this decision wasn't made lightly. It's been a journey of prayer, discernment, and seeking God's will for myself and Megan. We firmly believe that this new opportunity aligns with His plan for us in the next season of life.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers as we embark on this new adventure. We covet your continued prayers for our family and the Watsonville Church of the Nazarene community as we transition into this exciting new chapter. Stay tuned for updates, and let's continue to uplift each other in prayer and encouragement!

Rev. Ryan Albaugh M.A.
