"Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you"

Something that's been floating around my head recently in relation to welcoming the new incoming seventh graders:

"Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." (Romans 15:7)

As I drove to church yesterday, I was struck by the need to pray for these incoming seventh graders. Join with me in praying that they become mature, stalwart men and women who love Jesus above all things!
