Pillar of Hospitality

 - Christian Kindness

"Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels." - Hebrews 13:2


Create in me a Love ever more open

Create in me a love ever more open, Lord,

that I may move beyond myself,

that I may transcend man-made borders

that I may go to the periphery,

that I may seek the hidden exile,

that I may offer generous hospitality, and

that I may rid racism from my heart.


In this way, may I help create conditions

where every person can thrive,

where community replaces isolation,

where racism is stamped out,

where justice is restored,

where work, land and housing are available for all, and

where the human family can live in harmony.


Guide us on the journey to the true path of peace, Lord.

Help us live out your vision of a world where no one is excluded

and the earth’s goods are shared and cared for by all.


Amen.

  • †Hospitality Ministry

    Presentation Church, in its effort to be a genuine Christian community, where warmth and welcome are readily found, has a Hospitality Ministry. This ministry seeks to make that "warmth and welcome" a tangible reality through hosting a quarterly dinner at the parish to welcome newly registered families, taking a gift on behalf of the parish to the homes of new families, and helping to create a hospitable environment at our church through greeting people as they arrive at the doors of the church.
