Hospitality at Conversations

“Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified by Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever.  Amen.”
~1 Peter 4:9-11

God mandates Believers to represent the Gospel of Christ by using the gifts He has given for service to one another (1 Peter 4:9-11). Service to one another is a means of growing in our knowledge of Christ (as we serve others, we serve Christ Himself – Matthew 25:40) and an opportunity to make Christ known to others (John 13:35).

While there are always opportunities to serve at RBC,
we have a unique opportunity coming up to make Christ known in Northern Virginia through Conversations.   Conversations is our annual production the week before Easter in which music, dramas, and real life stories are blended together into a cohesive performance where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is creatively and clearly presented.  It is the perfect opportunity for many people to hear and reflect on truth in a comfortable, fun, and non-awkward environment.

As we prepare for Conversations, we need to make sure we are equipped to care for our guests, showing them the value and respect they deserve.  We are to show guests hospitality (Hebrews 13:2) with the hope that Christ will break down walls in their lives to enable them to respond to the truth of the Gospel.

There are still many ways to serve for Conversations – through prayer, baking, ushering, greeting, nursery/childcare, and meals for the cast and crew.  Please consider how you can participate in the Gospel of Christ through serving others in Conversations this year!
