Matthew 10:40-42; Psalm 13 Prayer for Deliverance; Genesis 22:1-14

Come and create a place setting. Imagine or remember a time you hosted a
family gathering, a house guest, or a special dinner party. What were the elements
of preparation? What was your task? How do you like to help? Draw or write about
your favorite foods on the paper. How do your efforts help to make your guest feel
comfortable and loved?


Welcomed by name Create a name tag. What is your given name and what do
you prefer to be called? Have you ever been called the wrong name, or had your
name mispronounced?
How does that feel? How does it feel to have someone greet you by name? Can
you return the gesture of kindness here at church?


Practice hospitality Look, write down or discuss all the ways welcome is shown at
this church. What about our church building and worship, what signs, words, or
practices express welcome? How are visitors treated? Why are these efforts
important? What else could you do to welcome newcomers and long time friends
alike?
