Love in action
The art of intergenerational hospitality
by Sarah Carson
In writing to the Romans, Paul advised this early Christian community: “For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.” Yet when it comes to sharing hospitality in the church, some gifts can seem more naturally useful than others. In this one-session devotional, Sarah Carson, Gather‘s former managing editor and a self-described hospitality-challenged member of the body of Christ, explores what creativity can teach us about about hospitality. While studying passages from Romans, 1 Kings, Matthew and Luke, participants will see how we all have the capacity to help others feel welcome and to accept this welcome for ourselves.
I am receiving Gather Magazine but never receive it before our Bible Study which is the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Someone told me I could print the Bible study on line, however since I have a subscription I don’t want to pay again to print the Bible study.
My subscription code is BXNRXWVV GAT DD894815 B#

I am again looking for my Gather magazine to arrive in time for Bible Study. We are in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin and the Pastor is in need of the Bible Study to prepare for next Tuesday (April 25) morning’s meeting. Any chance that I will see the magazine by Friday (tomorrow) noon? Or may I get the pdf version by tomorrow noon? Thank you.
thank you from my circle members at Minot ND. We meet the first Thursday of each month. We hope this will be the beginning of a new mailing schedule.
Thanks, Joylea. Thanks for your patience.
I also need a copy PDF of “Love in Action: The art of intergenerational hospitality. Must be able to download since we will be having our meeting May 13th. We never got out March/April issue until the 1st week in April.
Please send me a link to download a PDF.

Thank you for your apology regarding the recurring problem of the timely distribution of Gather. Your decision to extend current subscriptions by two months is an appropriate, proactive step in restoring confidence in the magazine’s production and administration.
