From the Generosity Team
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews13:2 We love to show hospitality to strangers here at the Cathedral. As the mid-September SuperCrawl approaches, we’re gearing up to welcome huge numbers of visitors. Some of our guests are curious. Many are shy about coming in. Others are simply tired or overwhelmed, and blessed to sit in peace in this beautiful sacred space. Our friendly greeters welcome them all, in the spirit of Paul's message to the Hebrews. A thought for the month of August: it is YOUR generosity that keeps our doors open, our lights on, and our wonderful ministry team paid. When you give generously, thereby you-yes, YOU-have entertained angels unawares! |
