For this week’s summer invitation, we’re inviting you to schedule a time for hospitality.
Sharing meals with others is one of the simplest invitations we have as followers of Christ to extend His love. As we re-emerge socially in the wake of COVID-19, it’s easy to remain in the habit of staying in⏤or to swing in the opposite direction and overextend ourselves. This week, we’re wondering if you would commit to a simple practice of trying to have someone in your home at least once a week⏤be it dinner, dessert, or after-school snack time. Let this time be a gift for others and ask Jesus to reveal something new to you as you practice simply inviting people over. Pray for a soft heart and a renewed vision about how to extend hospitality to those who are lonely.
Welcome to summer invitations. As we disengage from formal ministry commitments, summer can be a time to build a reading list, seek new voices, and be refreshed. Especially as pandemic restrictions lift, our heart is to help you get out there and rediscover Canada as we continue in our mission of hopeful engagement with the church and our Canadian context. Each week we will be sharing a simple summer invitation to help you see Canada in a fresh way.
