One of my roommates got married last weekend. As we exited the church building, on our way to the reception site, Carol spotted this sign above the front doors. I just had to take a picture.
It might become cliche if every church had this kind of charge for its dismissing congregants, but what a great reminder that the moment we step outside the church building, we are once again called to witness to Jesus in the world.
I liken this to every time a University of Notre Dame football player leaves the locker room and runs out onto the field.
Lastly, I leave you with a quote from a book called A Dresser of Sycamore Trees:
"Much of the true 'work of the church' takes place outside of the church building, at the job site, in the legislature, and not least of all in the household."
