Welcome

What helps you feel welcome? Gena St. David gathers us around the table to notice who feels welcome and who is missing. How might a nonviolent practice might help us follow Jesus in being good news to the marginalized while celebrating alongside one another? [Matthew 9:10-13]

 

Reflection

• Who among us feels least welcome?
• Whose suffering might we relieve?
• How is our story related to our calling?
