Do you have an idea for the Blakemore Sign?
We need your suggestions!
As Jody Lentz mentioned in his previous blog, we need ideas for sayings, phrases, announcements, sermon topic related messages, scriptures, etc. for the Blakemore Sign.Nearly 600,000 people drive by our sign each day.
As a church, what do we want to say to them??
Your Communicating with Others Team is planning on building and organizing these suggestions into a database so that we can have at least a 3 year cycle of messages (sorta like a sign lexionary). Remember, when making suggestions the sign will only hold 35 characters per line; "M" and "W" count for 1.5 characters; "I" counts as .5. Thanks also to all who have put new messages on the sign: Jody Lentz, Kevin Walker, and Joe Roop to name a few (sorry if I left any one out).So, pour in your suggestions.
We appreciate your help,
Gary Boling

Karla here:
Believe it or not, but we are blessed with, on average, 600,000 folks going past our sign every weekday! Speaking of the sign, some here at the Cokesbury mentioned she enjoyed reading our sign. It was an unsolicited comment given when she found out where I attend. Just like the website and the blog, the sign is helping people take notice of Blakemore.
Now for my suggestion of a quote:
"Life is not a search for happiness. Happiness is a by-product of living the right kind of a life, of doing the right thing. Do not search for happiness, search for right living and happiness will be your reward." ~ from the book Twenty-four Hours a Day
listen carefully to the Master's instructions and attend to them with the ear of your heart.

Your faith may come and go but your practice ought not to waive.

Faith looks up.
