Do you remember a time when you needed welcome and someone extended hospitality? How about a time you offered hospitality to someone else? What did you experience spiritually because of those events? What does it mean to "practice hospitality" and why is it one of the basic tenets of all faith traditions? We will engage these questions and more as we explore the practice of hospitality this Sunday.
Our offering will go towards welcoming Rev. Jennifer Innis, who will be with us March 20, as part of a pulpit exchange. I preached for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Midland last weekend, and was warmly welcomed. We want to extend the same welcome and support to Jennifer when she comes to be with us. In honor of Tuesday being Mardi Gras / Shrove Tuesday, our potluck is extravagant! Suggestions include anything rich and/or fattening (to use up that sugar, fat, and eggs before the beginning of Lent) or anything connected with Louisiana or Rio de Janeiro (both important Carnival locales). The evening sounds fun and tasty, doesn't it?
