Hos­pi­tal­ity at Hen­nepin can be viewed as the way we treat each other within the com­mu­nity– greet­ing each other at the door, wel­com­ing each other into new min­istries, encour­ag­ing every­one to use their gifts in ways that are life giv­ing and help the world. Hos­pi­tal­ity is also the way we treat our neigh­bors: those liv­ing right nearby and those liv­ing across the world. It is a part of who we are to live hos­pitably– to respect oth­ers’ ideas and to lis­ten to one another. Hos­pi­tal­ity isn’t just a com­mit­tee or the cof­fee that’s pro­vided on Sun­day morn­ings. Hos­pi­tal­ity is a way of liv­ing that we believe Christ mod­eled and that we try to follow.
