Hospitality and Welcome in the Gospels
For the second week in a row, this Sunday we'll hear a story which illustrates the importance of relationship with our neighbors.

Last week was the parable of the Good Samaritan, illustrating the depth and breadth of who we should consider as our neighbors. As one example (referencing the gospel), our Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Michael Curry, issued a video this week tying the depth of love for our neighbors to the current immigration crisis at the border. You can find that video here.

This week, we see two sisters hosting Jesus in their home. One is distracted, while the other takes the time to be fully present with Jesus - present in relationship and love.

Where are we distracted when instead we might be fully present with God? Are there neighbors in our daily journeys with whom we are called to be in more deep an authentic relationship?
Next week, we'll be meeting with parents of children and youth to explore how Trinity can help form our young people in Christian faith. We're still working on getting a time together. If you are interested in joining this meeting, please email revgregwilson@gmail.com for details.
We have a new website at the same address.

Let's Break Bread Together!

One of the best ways to get to know a new congregation is to visit families for dinner. Over the course of the next few months, I'll be shamelessly inviting myself over to parishioner's houses for dinner so that we can break bread together. There's no agenda other than relationship. If you would like to set something up in advance, please email revgregwilson@gmail.com.
