Prayer
Wonderful Redeemer, you invite us into new spaces and new places. You challenge us to

grow in new and different ways. How grateful we are knowing that you abide with us in
the midst of our excitement, our fear, our joy and our uncertainty. Thank you for
surrounding us with a community of support, reminding us that you are ever present.

Amen.

Reflection Questions/Activity

Think about times when you have travelled to other countries or cultures. How did
those around you welcome you, extend hospitality to you and assure your needs

were considered?
Have you ever welcomed someone from another country or culture or hosted them
in your home? What did you do to ensure they felt welcomed?

Consider ways you might spend time with someone from another culture or country. If
you know of someone, perhaps you can invite them to dinner, coffee or something else.

Perhaps you can share something from your culture or upbringing with them and invite
them to tell you more about their life experiences.
