The discussion rolls along...
Fact #4 - The church is in the hospitality business.
Though our ultimate purpose is spiritual, one of our first steps in the Kingdom business is attention to hospitality (Hebrews 13:2). Imagine the service that would be given to you in a first-class hotel or a five-star restaurant. Should the church offer anything less to those who have made the great effort to be our guests?
Action - Encourage members to extend hospitality to guests by offering...
- to sit with them during the church service
- to give them a tour of the church facilities
- to eat lunch with them after service
- to connect with them later in the week

If this kind of ministry is going on.....I don't see it. Maybe there isn't enough emphasis on doing these kinds of things. I would think that as a christian (especially a mature one) you would be doing or at least understand that you should be reaching out to new people (regardless of if they live in Reunion or not) in this way. I don't know?
I totally disagree with the whole concept. Are we running a hotel, or getting people to know about Jesus?
We've turned church into a free-market enterprise. What would those who are being persecuted for their faith in africa or china say about this silliness?
