Hospitality
Episcopal Church hospitality focuses on radical welcome and inclusivity, often summarized by the “Invite Welcome Connect” model, designed to greet visitors and integrate them into parish life regardless of background or orientation. Key practices include dedicated greeters, coffee hours, community meals, and digital, accessible space, aiming to create a safe, non-judgemental environment.
Our hospitality ministry plays a major role in the official life and social life of our parish. Emily Peterson is our chairman of very dedicated Volunteers. For special occasions members of the parish are given a list of food items needed for the occasion, for example, the bishop’s annual visit.
On the first Sunday of the month, we celebrate “Birthday-Anniversary Sunday”. Also, parish members are encouraged to take a Sunday for the refreshment hour and also are asked to donate money to offset the expenses of the ministry. Any monies collected are reserved for the Hospitality Ministry.
