Book excerpt: The New Testament word for stranger is also translated as host and guest. Hospitality is never a one way street, but a circle or roundabout that gives and receives. The one who invites and the one invited are each in turn host and guest. Youth (ages 11-15) connect to the faith community through their family or peers. Youth sometimes think and behave as older children and sometimes as older youth. They need to experience being grounded in a nurturing congregation that allows room for questioning and doubts. Practicing our faith is a lifelong process. When completed, this series will offer 24 practices in 10 different life settings.
