Ordinary Time: Tuesday, August 1, 2006

I'm sitting in Memphis waiting on my wife to finish something and I'm looking at the greatest sign I've ever seen. It says "Methodist Recruitment." I laughed out loud when I saw it. I asked Holly if that was how they got folks to come to church up here. Actually its for Methodist healthcare.

Businesses recruit folks to come work for them. Ole Miss and State recuit folks. We at the church sometimes just expect folk to just come on there on. But they don't.

So, we have to invite. We have to prod. We have to make an effort. When was the last time you invited someone to church?

Methodist Healthcare is inviting folks. Are we?
