Here is the schedule for All Ministry Teams Day this Saturday. Snacks will be available at 8:30 AM and the program begins at 9 AM and concludes at Noon. After a brief focus session about showing hospitality to strangers, each ministry team will meet for 2 hours to plan out their year. During their planning time, each ministry team will be asked to answer this question: "I wonder how our ministry team may show hospitality in each of our activities and events this year?" Each team will then report back to McPhail Hall where we will briefly share our findings with the whole group. The Session will stay for lunch and an afternoon meeting. Come and be a part of this important event! If you are not on a ministry team and would like to serve on one, please call me at the church at 713-723-6262 because we would like for everyone to be involved.
As a congregation, let's clothe ourselves in hospitality in 2009. Let us intentionally welcome the stranger into our midst, knowing that once upon a time, we were the newcomer here, we were the one hoping for a welcoming word or sign from this congregation. This congregation is full of smart people. I believe if we sit down and try to figure out how to do a better job of showing hospitality we will find an abundance of ideas both great and small.
The peace of Christ be with y'all,
Pastor Jon
