Mark 9:30-37, James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a| Welcome mats adorn people’s front steps. “All are welcome” is blasted across signs in front of churches and businesses, and “welcome home!” is a phrase we often use with we haven’t seen in a while. But what does it really mean to be “welcomed”? Join us for worship this week as we hear the promise of our God who became a servant so that we might be welcomed into God’s embrace, and as we are sent to be Christ’s welcome to all the world.
