“Hospitality” Do you know this art? Over the years I have seen so many different styles and traditions around hospitality. Some homes offer hospitality with great intention and others seem to give it hardly a thought. Welcome and invitation are just a few of the ingredients of good hospitality. When it comes to the Feast of the Altar – hospitality also matters. Welcome and invitation along with clarity about what is being offered are essential at the Altar of God. In the Communion meal we offer to share Jesus. We do this with his instruction and by his request. There is great community and hospitality in Jesus, so of course we invite all to share with us in this feast. Perhaps you will share “invitation and welcome” with the friend that you bring with you to worship for a visit. They too are included in Jesus’ invitation to feast upon the life that God gives at this table. Indeed, All Are Welcome! Have you noticed our sign on Great Mills? We try to publicize this quality of our life but we depend upon you to express it and live it out. We invite you to practice hospitality here at church as well as at home.
Is it possible that what so many would consider a weed, might actually bear fruit that is to God’s glory?
Look how close rice grain looks to a non-fruit bearing plant called Tears.
