Risking Welcome — A New Study Beginning July 18

July 4th, 2010 · Christopher

  • What does it mean to give and to receive welcome?
  • What can we learn from this practice?
  • Why is it risky?

Beginning the week of July 18th, I will be leading a 4-week group study of a book entitled Hospitality – Risking Welcome, a study of Christian Character in Community.

This is a unique class that combines prayer, group discussion, movie clips, and biblical interpretation.  I guarantee it will be the best group study that you could ever participate in!  The cost for the book is only $5! Hospitality is an invitation into community, but not to a community in which everyone is the same. This community values diversity and treats difference with respect, awe, and hopefulness. I invite you to join us as we learn how to reflect this kind of hospitality.
