“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have welcomed angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:1-2
Hospitality Guilds
The St. Benedict community is intentional in its desire to be welcoming to all who enter. To serve that purpose and to make sure that everyone has a chance to connect with a small group for prayer and support, we now greet, usher and act as coffee hosts. Guilds have been created to combine all three service functions for Sunday worship. All persons attending St. Benedict are invited to become a member of a guild so no one is left out or alone.
The first purpose of our hospitality guilds is to provide intentional and heartfelt welcome to all who enter our doors, be it out of town visitors, first time guests, infrequent attendees, or regular members.
The second purpose is to provide a way for everyone to experience the joy of a small, caring community within the larger body through the connection of prayer and service.
The guilds are, St. Catherine lead by Andrea Weston Smart, St. Elizabeth lead by Michelle Fisher, St. Cecilia lead by Karen Knudson, St. Ephrem lead by Jan Akin, and St. Martha lead by Nancy Zabel. Caroline Madden is hospitality coordinator and Spencer Daniels acts as kitchen coordinator. Guilds are scheduled to serve every five weeks with leaders guiding their guild into prayer and service.
It's a wonderful way to get to know our church family and each other. We pray together and support our team members in our daily life.
