how to center a table

I am using CSS and I would like to center a table.
I put <p class="center">  before my table and </p> after the closing table
tag
The validator didn't like this - it thought I was using a closing </p> tag
for an element never opened.

Here is the error message:

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.

  1.. Line 86, column 38: end tag for element "P" which is not open

  <!--End of Sermon Table--> </table></p>


Here is the code - Can anyone help?
