 On Thursday evenings at 6 o'clock or so through the summer, different groups of parishioners will set out a pretty table on the front lawn and offer a cool drink, a tasty treat, and a cheerful greeting to all who pass by - along with an invitation to come in and hear the great music that begins at 6:26. Friends and neighbors of all ages drop by the table before, during, and after the concerts, attracted not only by the cookies and lemonade, but by the friendly people gathered on the lawn around the table. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? It is! Not only that, it's a great way to invite neighbors to taste and see and hear the joy of Grace. This little hospitality table is a product of the Thrive program. The CAT survey last year revealed that the people of Grace want to invite people into our community, and this is one simple way to do just that. Over the summer, different groups of parishioners will serve as hosts. The outreach committee has already signed up to host, and two other ministry groups are talking about it. How about you? It's easy and fun. Click here to contact Jim Redden for more information. | 
I'm excited to share some of the work that our Thrive Team has been doing and invite you to join them in the hospitality ministries they are developing.
