An ancient writer encouraged the practice of hospitality regardless of the social standing or background of your guest, because you never knew when they might turn out to be angels in disguise. This unconditional hospitality not only weaves people together but also offers a way to live out the Fellowship’s mission to “nurture spiritual growth; engage in justice; and build community with respect and compassion.”

This Sunday we will also commission and bless children, youth, and teachers as they begin a new year of religious exploration together.
