You Just Might Be

| 0 Comments

(ongoing list started by) Elaine Madigan

If  25 people show up on a Wednesday night to talk about stewardship....You  just might be seeing God at work.

If a homeless man slips into the church on a cold winter day to warm up, and a year later he's starting a new church program...You just might be seeing God at work.

If a homeless shelter opens next door and needs three really big things you're not sure you can give them, and nobody blinks....You just might be seeing God at work

If a group of young people take over the Stewardship drive from the old folks...You just might be seeing God at work

If a passerby you don't even know shows up at the door with a beautiful framed picture of your church...You just might be seeing God at work.

If your mission committee decides to get people talking to each other after the service, and they are still talking 45 minutes later...You just might be seeing God at work.

If the lector schedule is so full that you don't read again for two months...You just might be seeing God at work.

If you don't know half the new people who have been showing up at church lately...You just might be seeing God at work.

If the best sermon you ever heard about love is given by a 27 year old who has never even been to seminary...You just might be seeing God at work.

If a church has gone for years without Bible study because there is no one to lead it, and suddenly not one, but two people, volunteer to do that...You just might be seeing God at work.

If people say they want to have a healing service, and the priest says he won't give his permission - because as members of the body of Christ, we don't need permission...You might just be seeing God at work.

If more people add to this list...You just might be seeing God at work!...
