Red Carpet Greeting

Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! --1 John 3:1
If God has treated us with such extravagant love, how much more should we obey biblical commands to practice hospitality!

We’re handing Dulles Airport arrivals differently this year. Instead of asking individuals to pick up new international students from Dulles airport, we have asked students to clump together so that we can pick most of them up on four full-size bus trips. We need lots of volunteers to provide what we’re calling a “Red Carpet Greeting” at the UVA housing office when our buses drop off students. The bus cannot take students to their individual dorms/ apartments so we will need volunteers to welcome students with fun and warmth, drive students from the housing office to their dorms, get to know them in the process. I love meeting students when they first arrive in the U.S.! Pray with us for these precious visitors!
