Congregations that practice Radical Hospitality demonstrate an active desire to invite, welcome, receive, and care for those who are strangers so that they find a spiritual home and discover for themselves the unending richness of life in Christ. Radical describes that which is drastically different from ordinary practices, outside the normal, that which exceeds expectations and goes the second mile. From The Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations by Robert Schnase.
Radicals Needed!
CCUMC has invited children who attend the Homework Club and their families to an evening of food and fellowship. On Friday, April 24 the church will host a "Family Spaghetti Dinner Night." The evening will include Bingo games, dinner, more games and a craft, and ice cream. We anticipate that the evening will be a great opportunity to build relationships with the families who walk through our doors every week. Members of CM and EM congregations have done the planning and organizing. Now we need YOU to help us make this a great event! We need volunteers from both congregations to set up, cook, help with games, clean up, and just be present to talk with parents. You may come for as much of the evening as your schedule permits. We are also asking for cash donations to help offset the costs. Please see Peggy Woon, Becky Wong, or one of the pastors if you would like to volunteer. Let's show some radical hospitality!
