While working a booth at the covered bridge festival in Rockville, IN, I found this beautiful example of radical hospitality. The first Methodist church of Rockville stands here on a cold day with the doors wide open to serve coffee and cookies to everyone. They also opened their restrooms to everyone while most businesses have signs that restrooms are for customers only. It would have been very easy for them to stay in their normal routine and be closed on Saturday. Thanks for this outstanding example of radical hospitality.

I hope that your booth was very eventful for you all. It was nice to meet and talk with all of you and hope all had a safe trip home. Thank you for you message concerning our “hospitality” during the festival. Having worked one of the shifts at the church, I enjoyed visiting with the people that came in for a visit and I always enjoy meeting fellow christians of all denominations. We are all here to serve others as he would. Bless you all.
