We Are the Church

"We are the church; let's bring back the warmth and nurturing of hospitality." ~ G. Fothergill

Real Hospitality

"A good host not only has to be poor in mind but also poor in heart. When our heart is filled with prejudices, worries, jealousies, there is little room for a stranger. In a fearful environment it is not easy to keep our hearts open to the wide range of human experiences. Real hospitality, however, is not exclusive but inclusive and creates space for a large variety of human experiences." ~ Henri J. M. Nouwen 

Worthwhile Endeavor

"Most worthwhile endeavors - whether they involve housework and chores, schoolwork, serving outside the home or providing hospitality within, or training our children to be servants of the Lord-end up taking more time energy, effort, and character than we ever thought they would." ~ Sally Clarkson (The Ministry of Motherhood)

Hospitality of God

If I have enjoyed the hospitality of the Host of this universe, Who daily spreads a table in my sight, surely I cannot do less than acknowledge my dependence.

~ G.A. Johnston Ross
