    Tuesday tables

    Dinner first, then the Bible

    Four homes, eight to twelve people each, every Tuesday at 6:30. This is where most of the church actually happens.

    The four tables

    Pick the one you can walk to

    Every table is within a fifteen-minute walk of the lodge, and each has room for two or three more this fall.

    Pots of rice, dal and vegetables ready to serve

    Lawrenceville · Isaac and Leah

    44th Street

    The first table. Usually a pot of jollof rice, sometimes a lasagne. Two cats, one very old dog.

    Above a barbershop, up a steep flight of stairs. Rosa cooks for twelve whether eight come or not.

    Upper Lawrenceville · Walt

    How it works

    Three steps, and someone walks you in

    You don't need to have been to a Sunday first.

    1. 1

      Step 1: Pick a table

      Use the form below or text Isaac. Tell us which night works and anything you can't eat.

    2. 2

      Step 2: Meet us on the corner

      The first time, Isaac or Leah meets you at the end of the host's block at 6:25 and walks you to the door, so you never knock on a stranger's house alone.

    3. 3

      Step 3: Come hungry

      Dinner at 6:30, Sunday's reading at 7:30, home by 9. Bring nothing the first time.

    Ask for a seat

    Tell us which table, or let us pick

    Isaac will text back the same day with the corner to meet on and what's for dinner.

    Questions

    Before your first Tuesday

    Do I have to talk about the Bible?

    You have to eat. Everything after that is optional. Plenty of people listen for weeks before they say anything.

    Can I bring my kids?

    Yes. All four tables have kids at them. They eat with everyone and then play while the adults read.

    What if I'm not a Christian?

    About a third of the people at our tables would say they aren't, or aren't sure. Questions are welcome. So is disagreeing.

    Five Sundays old and staying put. Sundays at 4:30 on Ashworth Street.

    Design notes

    Why Ashworth Street looks the way it does

    A website for a church that is five Sundays old. It opens with a letter, because in a new church the pastor is the first thing a visitor is really weighing up, and every page is honest about how small and new it all is.

    Built for
    Lawrenceville and Bloomfield neighbors in their twenties to forties, many of them unchurched or out of the habit, plus Christians across the city wondering whether to join a launch team.
    Navigation
    Contents column. A right-hand contents list tracks where you are on long pages, the way a well-made book or report does.

    Hero
    A personal letter from the pastor or director as the opening: a greeting, two or three short paragraphs and a handwritten-style signature, with their portrait. Variants: a = the letter on a sheet with the portrait overlapping its left edge; b = an editor's-letter layout with a huge greeting, two text columns and a small captioned portrait

    Typography

    Literata was drawn for reading long text on screens, and here it carries a pastor's letter set like an editor's page in a neighborhood paper. IBM Plex Sans does the practical work underneath: plain and slightly industrial, like the mill buildings along the river. Isaac's signature is set in Nothing You Could Do, a loose handwriting face, and appears exactly once.

    Color

    The red is Lawrenceville brick, the color of every second rowhouse on Ashworth Street, and the gold is the paint on the Allegheny bridges, used only for small marks. The background is a cool stone gray, close to a Pittsburgh sky in October. Dark mode turns the brick toward the glow of a sodium streetlight.

    Layout and navigation

    A contents column on the right tracks where you are on each page, the way a well-made report does. Newcomers to a church plant read everything before they come, and long honest pages with a visible table of contents respect that. The one button in that column always says Come Sunday at 4:30.

    The hero

    The site opens with a letter from Isaac Danquah, set like an editor's letter with a huge greeting, two columns and a small portrait. A new church has no building and no history to show off. What it has is a person and a reason, so we let him say it in his own words.

    Calls to action

    Come Sunday at 4:30, Pull up a chair on Tuesday, Get coffee with Isaac, Join the launch team. Each one names a real thing at a real time, which matters when the church does not have a sign out front yet.

    Photography

    Pictures are few and modest on purpose: streets that look like Lawrenceville, a dinner table, Bibles with pencil marks. We avoided stage lights and crowds, because a church of sixty in a lodge hall should not look like an arena.

    Accessibility

    Body text is 17 pixels with generous line spacing and passes AAA contrast in the light theme. The contents column is a labeled landmark that screen readers can jump to, and every map has its address, parking and transit written out as plain text.

    Type system
