Reflection Questions:
1. How does thinking about the innkeeper — rather than the Samaritan — shift your understanding of this
parable?
2. In what ways is Plymouth already acting as an “inn” for our community and the wider world?
3. What kind of resources (time, skills, relationships, money) do we need to offer for our “inn” to thrive?
4. What does it mean to be entrusted with someone else’s healing journey?
5. How might our church become even more welcoming to those who feel wounded or weary?
6. Who has been an “innkeeper” in your own life, and what did they teach you about care?
This Moment Prayer:
Creator God: May this moment begin by acknowledging you as the source of all things good, true, and
beautiful.
In your abundance, we have been entrusted with many gifts of time, talent, and treasure. Teach us to be
faithful stewards of your gifts, using them wisely. Inspire us to plan and build for a future where people will
experience your presence and peace generations to come.
Generous God: In this moment of our life together, let us remain mindful of the great need that exists in our
community.
May we be a people focused on loving and caring for our friends, families, and neighbors who long for
livable wages, adequate resources, and housing security. Instill in us a spirit of true generosity, that we
may share our gifts with joy and compassion.
Loving God: Help us to embrace this moment as a time to deepen our understanding of stewardship as a
way of life, shaping our hearts and lives to resemble your love and justice.
During a time when despair rules the day, empower us as a church willing to move forward with courage,
vision, and hope for a world renewed and restored in your grace.
With a spirit of gratitude, we pray – amen.
