Tonight at my ABS group Sammi Stewart made a point that has really stuck with me. She said, "With as many new people who are coming to the retreat this weekend, we need to be extra careful to make everyone feel welcome. If we get all clicky and stay in our groups, then we will ruin their weekend before it even begins."
Sammi's right, you know...your kind words; your invitation to share a room or a lunch table; your willingness to take a little time to get to know someone new will go a very long way in helping us all to have the best possible weekend. So...I'm asking you, please, get out there and show them how this youth ministry is more like a family than a youth group.
You're opening up your house to bunch of special guests. Will you be a good host?
