The Joy of Hospitality - with Melissa Hammett

On today's show, we are joined by the Queen of Hospitality, Melissa Hammett. Melissa serves at St. John Lutheran Church in Rochester Michigan as Director of Youth Ministries and plays an absolutely vital role in the way that the Church does Hospitality. From coordinating events at St. John, to opening up her home to everyone, Melissa doesn't just talk about it, she DOES hospitality, bringing joy wherever she goes. We hope you have fun with this episode and are challenged this summer to embark on a joyful journey of one of the Scriptures' greatest delights: Hospitality.
