But sometimes we are not sure how to do that. Are we trying too hard\u2013pushing them away with our eagerness? Are we ignoring new guests\u2013too focused on our own conversations with friends after Sunday worship? How do we find a middle ground that helps people find their way\u00a0back\u00a0to our church so we can nestle them into our community? And how can we\u00a0truly\u00a0show hospitality to potential friends we may overlook\u2013the people we serve in ministry and those we meet outside our church?"}
