What's your favorite part about summer? Is it the vacations, the warm weather, or maybe just the extra time with friends and family? Join us as we chat with our young pals Larson and Sonny about their exciting summer plan. Let their enthusiasm for the season inspire you to make the most of your own summer adventures!

But summer isn't just about fun and games, it's also a great time to reflect on our faith and our connection with Jesus. In this episode, Larson and Sonny discuss their favorite stories about Jesus and how they learn from them on Sundays and Wednesdays. Sonny especially loves the Easter story, which reminds us of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. So, as we enjoy the sun and the warmth this season, let's also remember to choose joy, love others, and follow the example set by Jesus in our daily lives.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
