Narrative Lectionary Series

Can You Smell What God Is Cooking Now?

Based on: Acts 11:1-18 – Peter explains his vision of unclean animals to the Church in Jerusalem

       Peter welcomed and baptized Cornelius and his household, Romans, after his vision of unclean animals. When the Church at Jerusalem enquired about his baptism of non-Jews to the Church, he explained that God wants to welcome all people. We ask God to help us to extend God’s love to all people and welcome everyone.
