One of our core values is Relational Hospitality. This challenges us to practice hospitality and build relationships in a culture that highly values individuality and personal autonomy. Rosaria Butterfield, author of The Gospel Comes with a House Key, has learned the value of Christian hospitality as a way to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. This spring we will be gathering on Wednesday evenings to read and discuss her book on the subject. Each evening will begin with Evening Prayer (bring your Books of Common Prayer) at 6:00 p.m. and continue with reading and discussion at 6:30-7:30 p.m. Bring your own dinner. Childcare will not be provided. The schedule below is subject to change.
