Gleaning and Hope

Ruth could have gone home. Instead she goes to work—gleaning in the fields at the edges of Boaz's land, picking up what the harvesters leave behind. It's the law of the margins: the corners of the field belong to the poor, the stranger, the one who has no other claim. And then Boaz notices her. Week 2 of Found Family moves from loss into something tentative and unexpected: the possibility of provision showing up in places you didn't think to look for it. The margins aren't where blessing goes to die. They might be exactly where it begins. Join us June 14 as we follow Ruth into the field—and discover what it looks like when someone sees you there.
