The magazine’s March issue will focus on welcoming. We say “all are welcome,” but what does that really mean? How does your church welcome visitors and members? Do you have any events or traditions thatfocus on welcoming people? Do you have a story of how you felt welcome, or unwelcome, at a congregation, and why? Send your name, email, phone number, home congregation and up to 300 words describing your practices or experience to megan.brandsrud@elca.org by Dec. 15.
