At the bishop's day on the Central Massachusetts district, I saw a bit of a vision. The topic of the day had been rearranged for the clergy to talk about the economy and its effects on our members. Bishop Weaver invited us to be prophetic in our communities about the financial difficulties reported on the news.
So I envisioned signs reminding people of God. I came up with: Banks Fail, Jobs End, God Endures. I wasn't quite sure what the effect would be. Our church parking lot where these signs are is on a pretty busy corner in Fitchburg. Right where the signs are is where traffic often sits waiting for the traffic light.
I've seen people stop and look. I'm not sure what they think or whether it will reassure them that no matter what happens, banks failing, jobs ending, or anything else that the world can throw at us, God endures.
Maybe one of these days I'll get bold enough to ask people when they stop. And maybe even invite them to church.
