At Big Camp, we often gather with family and distant relatives for Sabbath lunch, feeling at ease within our familiar circles. However, this Sabbath, I want to challenge you to step outside of that comfort zone. There may be someone nearby who feels lonely or a little out of place. If you notice someone like that, invite them to join your family for Sabbath lunch.
Over 20 years ago, my family experienced one of those “feeling a bit lost” moments ourselves. Having just returned to Australia shortly before Big Camp, we were warmly invited by Pr Mike Brownhill’s family to share haystacks with them and their friends at their tent. It’s a moment we’ve never forgotten.
So, the challenge is simple: this Sabbath, be the one who reaches out.
