The Table MPLS is a community that practices the ways of Jesus, making space for all to belong and be loved. We meet Sundays at 5pm, and welcome all people—the super-spiritual and the skeptic—to worship with us. Each week we sing modern worship songs, hear a message, pray the Lord’s Prayer, take gluten-free communion together, and close with our community benediction: “No matter who you are or what you’ve done, who you love or what you’ve lost, where you’ve gone or where you’ve stayed, there will always be a seat for you at the Table because you are a beloved child of God and beloved, you belong.”

The University of Minnesota Youth and AIDS Projects (YAP) was founded in 1989, with a mission to prevent transmission of HIV to and from high-risk youth and to provide care to youth and families living with HIV infection.

YAP programs are grounded in the belief that HIV-related services for youth must be developmentally appropriate, culturally competent, coordinated, and family-centered in order to be effective.
