Turquoise Table in Batavia

Welcome to our Turquoise Table page! The Turquoise Table movement sets out to build and encourage community, connection and conversation. Below are some conversation starters to get you going! For more info on how the Turquoise Table got started, check out www.theturquoisetable.com

“Where are BUMC’s turquoise tables?”

Visit them all! We currently have Turquoise Tables located:

  • at Batavia United Methodist Church, off of Water Street
  • in Downtown Batavia near the Fox River
  • at the Batavia VFW
