"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,

for by so doing some people have shown hospitality

to angels without knowing it."

 (Hebrews 13:2)

Dear OSLC members and friends,

Yesterday, I was so blessed to host my book club in our home. One of my best friends started this book club last school year on zoom. As we’ve only met in person a few times, it was wonderful to open our home to others. This also meant that I spent a lot of the day preparing: grocery shopping, baking apple crisp and cleaning. 

As I host guests in my home, I also delight in how welcoming Our Savior’s is each week to all who enter through our doors. We have a guest book, simple gifts for newcomers and smiling faces. This past Sunday was also a joy as we had three bounce houses and the playground to welcome children, a popcorn machine, and an activities fair to welcome both familiar and new faces. This truly felt like a party! Like the State Fair, this was the “Great Our Savior’s get-together.” Tomorrow is also Rally Wednesday, and there will be some of these tables available as well for you to learn about ministries here at Our Savior’s.

This next Sunday, we will also have a very special day! Our youth will share with us about their mission trip to Boston. We will be inspired to hear about how they too were recipients of hospitality and also how they opened their hearts to serve others. As we embark on a new school year, may our hearts also remain open to how God will inspire us to welcome others. May we too feel the warm welcome—knowing that we are truly loved and belong.
