Humble Heart, Open Hands (Discovery Series Booklet)

An Invitation to Fellowship!

Hospitality is not about fancy dinners and great impressions...it's about humbling your heart and being open to meeting people where they are.  It's exactly what Jesus did for us, and we have the privilege of following His example.  Yes, it might be uncomfortable at first; but when you open the door to your home and heart to others, you open the door to unexpected blessings.  Hang the "welcome sign" of Christian hospitality on the door of your life and see what God can do through you.
