“A Spacious Welcome”

Rev. Leia Durland Jones and Angela Orebaugh, Worship Weaver

As we begin our exploration of this month’s ministry theme, “The Gifts of Welcome,” Rev. Leia helps us reflect on times when we’ve been in the role of welcoming and times when we have (or have not) been welcomed. What might a spacious welcome feel like to you? How can we consciously create a spacious welcome for others? As we observe Labor Day, let’s explore these questions and more together..
