I don’t know about you, but I am not sure I ever used the word ‘mitigate’ in a sentence before March of this year. I used other words with similar meanings, but ‘mitigate’ seems to be in every sentence these days.
Mitigating the effects of Covid 19, mitigating the emotional effects of not being able to be in community, mitigating the financial impact of not having corporate worship, or work, or summer camp. I’ve used it so much that I figured I needed to look it up and see if I am using it correctly.

Open Table ministry has been building relationships and supporting those in need for 15 years. It’s messy but oh so rewarding.  Our young adults have expressed how much their table members have provided support, community, and social resources which have made a significant impact on their lives.
