Dear People of Hope,
As many of you know, we are working with a graphic designer to create a logo for our congregation — an image that helps to communicate who we are. This is a practical task that will be most helpful for using on social media and our website, as well as posters or bulletins. In our current world, it helps to communicate with people who do not yet know us. It is a small tool within a larger mission of what we are to be about. We are gathered together by God, celebrating grace, and serving all.
A logo is a form of communication, and communication is about sharing. Sometimes at the end of service, the last words we hear are “Go in peace, share the good news.” And we all shout back, “Thanks be to God!” In all that we do and who we are, we share the good news – God’s grace in Jesus! The power of the Holy Spirit in our lives! The gift of God for this present and for our lives! The work of God (justice, peace, hope, love) through the people of God.
What would you say is the “good news?” What has been the good news that God has given you in your life? Use all your senses – what does it look, feel, taste, smell, sound like?
I invite you, as you hear those words “Share the good news” on Sundays, to let them sit with you a little longer than you may normally, before going to grab those yummy treats after service. What good news of God in your life do you have to share? Who can you share it with?
Our world is hungry for it.
Peace,
Pastor Liz
