Practicing Radical Hospitality with Rev. Emily Harkins.

Join us in person for an inspiring event with Rev. Emily Harkins as we explore the joys and challenges of caring for life on the margins. Radical hospitality is not simply an ideal but biblical principal. Join Pastor Emily in a conversation around building genuine relationships, caring for our neighbors, and witnessing the full embrace of God’s Kingdom. This is a great chance to connect, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations for the sake of our neighbors. Lunch is provided.

About Rev. Emily and the Dwelling

Emily Harkins is a Pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), serving as the Lead Pastor and Founding Developer of this new community of faith, The Dwelling. The Dwelling proclaims boldly that there is holiness in the identity as someone experiencing homelessness, that they share a kinship with God who reminds us all that we are all wanderers in search of belonging. Belonging that can only be found in the waters of baptism and at the table - where outsiders are no more.

The Dwelling reflects the radical counter-cultural nature of the cross - where shame is glory and identity in Christ replaces the damaging narrative that the world so easily affixes to people in the margins. In a world that constantly tells people who are living on the margins that they don't belong, The Dwelling is a church that tells them that the world has it all wrong.
