How to gather neighbors and love people well with Sarah Harmeyer

Pardon the Mess with Courtney DeFeo

Happy almost Summer!! I am delighted to share the story of Sarah Harmeyer and her love for gathering neighbors. You will be so fascinated by her story of creating a table and setting out to have people over. Over time, she hosted thousands of people just one night at a time. She absolutely inspired me to get back out there and invite folks to my home.

You will be inspired and motivated and so very touched how God used Sarah’s life to start a movement called “Neighbor’s Table.” He took a nudge in her heart and kept expanding it across the country.

My favorite part was at the end when we talked about her current living situation with her aging father. She is so tender and so gracious with his walk with Alzheimers. I pray that I handle my own parents with such care and compassion one day.

In this episode we chat about:

• How a simple dinner party created a movement
• Why your neighbors need community
• What an invitation can do for an individual
• How we can preach less and simply love more
• How to care for aging parents with compassion
