Dear Christ Church,
Your hospitality matters! Here are excerpts from three notes we've received in the last three weeks from guests who have recently visited Christ Church:
"Thank you again for you & your entire church family for making us feel so welcomed! Also, that was some of the best coffee we had ever had! Will you please let me know how I may send an offering to the church?"-- Alyssa, who visited from the U.S. with her boyfriend late last Fall.
"Hi there, I was at Christ Church [a few Sundays ago] with a group. We were treated so warmly and well, that I want to express our heartfelt thanks." -- Fr. Casey, Episcopal priest from Texas
"Our visit to Christ Church was lovely. Rev Susan gave us a little tour before the service, and the bilingual worship service was beautiful. We were shown great hospitality. One member of the group, who has been contemplating a retirement move to San Miguel de Allende, said he could actually see himself living in CDMX and worshiping in that space." -- Molly, the Wonder Voyage guide who brought her group to worship at Christ Church in February
Thank you, all, for opening your hearts, conversations, and lives to guests. There is always some risk involved, as some of you have experienced, but there is also always great opportunity for shared blessing. As a faith community, we have the honor of greeting and caring for one another with Jesus’ compassion, sensitivity, and hospitality. To whom can you extend these gifts this morning before you leave Christ Church?
With appreciation,
Rev. Elisabeth
