About the event
Christ is at the door—in the guest, the wanderer, the stranger. Will we answer?
In Matthew 25, Jesus says, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me.”This August at New Bridges, we begin a new sermon series:“Open the Doors Wide: Welcoming All as Christ.”
Christ calls us to offer radical hospitality, to create spaces of belonging for all people, to welcome others as we would welcome him. The monastery on the hill was once a place of sanctuary and shelter. Can the Church become that again?
Each week, we’ll hear stories of those often overlooked—people who were seen, welcomed, and lifted up. We’ll be challenged to open the doors of our hearts, homes, and church more widely—to embrace God’s beloved community and to see Christ in all who come.
