Are you sensitive to others?

Reach out & touch someone...

If you don’t know your neighbors’ names, I bet they are not that interested in hearing about your loving God.

When we show people we are willing to love them in THEIR environment they are much more willing to consider being part of ours. MSmay

Eugene Peterson writes that we are living in an,

'epidemic of inhospitality.'

What are you doing to combat that idea?

Mixing it up in the neighbourhood is like creating one big giant Stew!

I have a dream...

Just show up & be there.
