PET - Hospitality: Welcome & Gospel Witness

"Hospitality" - if you were asked to give a definition, what would you say?

Most of us would probably say something along the lines of having someone over for a meal. Or maybe serving on the 'hospitality team' at church, ensuring teas and coffees are set out before or after the service. Croissants if you're really going for it.

But what if we expanded that definition of hospitality to ‘welcoming the stranger’? Think how this would widen the scope of what it means to be a church showing hospitality to the community. How might that change the way you open your home, or how you serve? How might that change who we interact with?

Join us for our Practical Evangelism Training day on Saturday, 20 September to consider what your church can practically do to be hospitable - being good gospel witnesses in our welcome to the stranger and newcomers to our churches. Lunch included.
