“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” 

Romans 12:13

There are wordless signs, postures, and gestures we know very well that help us pray when we gather as a community of faith.  An opened door, extended hand, and smiling face entices us in and helps us to know that we are welcome. Before song and ritual dialogue, before word or preaching takes place, we already know we belong, and we are in the presence of one who is greater than ourselves. Our ministers are the hosts who put a face onto the parish and begin the process of forming our guest as a worshiping body.
