The Wonderful Art of Christian Hospitality | Shelley Hendry

Let’s gain a vision for enriching, God-honoring gatherings that can refuel the heart without draining the life. Shelley will discuss ways to create a low-stress, meaningful, memorable fellowship for the whole family to draw closer to the Lord, refresh and inspire people without making yourself crazy, and, and share great acts of God in history. Let’s eliminate perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mentality from our hospitality opportunities! Instead, think, How can I use hospitality to make people feel at home? How can I show hospitality in a simple yet satisfying way so that the food and work do not sink me? Learn how to show hospitality even with limited funds, time, or skills and even with children.
