The truth is, all of us are guests, welcomed by the One who made us to welcome one another. It’s who we are as individuals, families, and congregations: communities of hospitality, pilgrims welcoming other pilgrims on life’s way.

And God doesn’t leave us without tools to do this work. This beautifully designed, hand illustrated poster, “Hospitality: Tools of the Trade,” is a lovely little reminder and celebration of some of those tools, gifts God gives us to welcome one another.

Think of it as a mnemonic device, a helpful nudge to reach out and open up. Pop it up on your refrigerator door, your church door, your office door - anywhere you want to celebrate the blessings of hospitality, human and divine.

You can even add your church name and logo (for example, see the second image here).

And check out SALT’s “Hospitality Audit: Tools of the Trade” for a lively, theologically grounded, step-by-step guide for congregations to evaluate their hospitality and make intentional, doable, effective improvements (the audit comes with the poster!).

And for a seamless, multidimensional approach, SALT’s “Hospitality: Tools of the Trade” Kit comes with a Customizable Short Film, the “Hospitality Audit,” and the poster. Use the film, audit, and poster together for a holistic, church-wide “Welcome Campaign”!
