The Fifteen minute challenge after church

As God's people we are called to love our neighbour and love the stranger.

St. Matthew's Rosalie has had a good number of visitors and inquirers among us each Sunday.

Sometimes in our busyness to see the regulars or get the admin jobs done, we can inadvertantly overlook the vistors and the strangers.

I want to encourage you to take the first fifteen minutes after church has finished to deliberately welcome the people you don't know. This way we tighten our net of hospitality to visitors and seekers. Say no admin, say no to chairs, say no to
other jobs...welcome the stranger especially.

People are more important than jobs!

"they will know we are christians by our love"

PS Do deal with the chairs though, after you have welcomed the people!
