Like a good neighbor…
I suppose most of us could finish this little advertising jingle without much trouble. But what does it sound like—what does it look like—when we finish the line with the words Cross Lutheran?
It has been my experience that being a good neighbor is built into the DNA of this congregation. Witness our work with John Glenn, our burgeoning collaborations with Our Redeemer, our connection to Shores of Lake Phalen, and our growing partnerships with Promesa de Dios, Ebenezer Elim, and Adventista del Septimo Dia.
These things do not go un-noticed. Something as positive and as wholesome as the yard signs spread around the property can have a big effect. Last week, our office received this email from a neighbor:
I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for those wonderful yard signs you have along the road. I work in the trauma unit at Regions hospital and sometimes on the way home the messages they express are exactly what I need to hear to help me through a hard day. I’m not religious by any means and I appreciate that they are fairly neutral in their perspective. I live in the neighborhood and appreciate the positive vibes.
Thanks, Matt
We have more opporunities to good neighbors this summer. Our new digital sign will help us share the good news in a more visible way. We’re planning a neighborhood gathering this August in partnership with other congregations. So stay tuned.
