How can we, ordinary people, seek to be hospitable in the season of life we find ourselves in?
Whether you are single, parenting little ones, or have an empty nest, we invite you to join the ladies of Central this summer as we work through Extraordinary Hospitality (for Ordinary People) by Carolyn Lacey. We'll meet bi-weekly on Tuesday evenings from 7 - 8:30pm. This book club will meet in the fellowship hall. Moms are encouraged to arrange for childcare of their little ones. |

"Generous hospitality is a significant way in which God works through our lives to bless others, yet many of us feel ill-equipped and overwhelmed at the prospect, especially if we don’t have big houses and we are not wonderful cooks!
Carolyn Lacey encourages us to focus on the goal of hospitality, which is to reflect God’s welcoming heart, and shows us how we can all do that, regardless of our bank balance or living situation.
She explores seven ways in which we can reflect God’s character in the way we welcome others into our homes and into our lives, and so point people ultimately to Christ.
This practical and realistic book explores how to make generous hospitality part of everyday life without becoming exhausted and overburdened."
