Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the beginning of this Advent season we anticipate the coming of the Christ. Jesus’ coming and earthly ministry constitutes a “visitation” in which the hospitality of God is demonstrated in Christ. It is a holy paradox that God has made us welcome, but still seeks a welcome from us. What does it mean to welcome God into all that we are? As we move toward Christmas, it is our prayer that you will experience the extravagance of God’s hospitality, and, in turn, accept this invitation and extend that hospitality to others, both locally and globally.
Mennonite World Conference is looking forward to 2022 – a year when we will join with our global sisters and brothers in experiencing the hospitality of God, and sharing this good news of Jesus Christ with all creation. |
