It has been decided by great minds (well mine and one of my minions, so one great mind then) that every week we will put up a new sign outside the Church. Up until now we have displayed the service times and who is preaching. Let's be brutally honest, who walking up and down LaTrobe Street is bothered who is preaching and at what time at a church they have no intention of going to? So we will put up little gems of wisdom. Then on Fridays it will be changed to show the service times for the weekend just in case anyone is interested.
Every week I will show you the sign and explain it. Some of them will need some explanation, they are a bit obscure.
I am always looking for new signs to go up, if you find any let me know in the comments below or email sion@melbournewelshchurch.org.
This week our sign said.....
"If you are looking for a sign from God...this is it!"
I can't tell you how many times I have heard something like, "If only God would send me a sign." I really can't tell you. It's not because I don't like you or anything like that, it's not even that it's a big secret, I have never counted so that is why I can't tell you, I really don't know, but it's a lot of times.
I have heard from grieving families, I have listened to it from young people torn apart by the whole growing up thing. Successful people wondering what life is all about ask, as do street people sitting on bits of cardboard.
"God just give me a sign."
So just in case anyone is asking for God for a sign. We put it up.
I hope it helps someone.

And I would be your minion, I suppose!
ReplyDeleteThe minion is never named, neither is the mind. I seem to recall 3 people at the meeting....
