“Hospitality exists when you believe the other person is on your side. The converse is just as true. Hospitality is present when something happens for you. It is absent when something happens to you. Those two simple prepositions - for and to - express it all.” Danny Meyer in Setting the Table

This past weekend we launched our communication to our congregation about Easter this year. Let me tell you, it’s looking unlike any Easter I’ve ever been to or been apart of. For some folks the fact that we are going to an arena feels different and unsettling because it’s outside of the normal “easter experience” box. But I watched an interesting thing happen in people’s faces as they realized that we had considered some details to make that morning for them. It’s my personal opinion that a church should be the place where hospitality exists the most and where the details are considered with real people’s needs in mind. It shouldn’t be that you get this experience at the restaurant or mall down the road but not with your church community. So, I’m going to try to remember that a little goes a long way - what would you want to happen for you?
