Welcoming New People Module

Purpose: To create an attitude and practice of hospitality to those who may be new to faith in Christ and to the church.

Theme Emphasis Event: A church-wide dinner with relational activities will provide the means for introducing this study/action module.

Adult Study Curriculum: Widening the Welcome of Your Church: Biblical Hospitality and the Vital Congregation by Fred Bernhard and Steve Clapp is the study book. Participants will discover the biblical basis for hospitality; examine ways to be hospitable to specific groups; consider the impact of physical facilities and worship style; and explore the impact that application of these principles has had on one rural congregation. A leader's guide includes reproducible handouts for class discussion.

Congregational Outreach Activity: An "acts of kindness" activity will provide a first step in implementing the learning from this study.
