Church Tanks?
A friend of mine shared with me an artist who makes these "Church Tanks". Below is an image of one of of these interesting sculptures.
In the spirit of the Mike Meyers character from a Saturday Night Live sketch called Coffee Talk, Linda Richmond: "Discuss".
What's a clergy?
In another example of the declining influence of popular culture (which may not be all that of a bad thing), I had this conversation with an 18 year old girl who cut my hair today.
"Are you on your lunch break or did you have the day off to get your haircut?"
"Oh, I have a flexible work schedule. I am clergy."
"What's a clergy?"
"Clergy? It is a minister."
"Oh. Cool. I read about clergy in my history books in school. With Rome and all that stuff. That is neat they are still around."
Neat indeed.
Crowd Sourcing This...
SUMC is working on consolidating the mission and service we do here so that we are able to have a greater concentration of effort to create lasting change. We are also looking to increase visibility and communication for the different areas of service that we do as a church.
Here is a draft to a "Service Calendar", or you can see the pic below. The left side has the themes, collections, and opportunities for the year. The right side has the current month in greater detail.
Thoughts?
