Session 9 – Hospitality and Belonging

Spiritual Practice is in 12 sessions to help participants deepen their spiritual lives
through exploring and experiencing a variety of spiritual practices. The focus is on
experiencing the practices rather than talking about them, so participants are
encouraged to engage fully through listening and doing.

SESSION OBJECTIVES
• Participants will understand giving and receiving hospitality as a spiritual practice
• Participants will understand what hospitality and belonging look like in church
• Participants will understand themselves (regardless of membership status) as part of the body of the church and therefore “authorized” and responsible for creating an environment of welcome in the church
