TN137 The message of your people

First published on this website in April 2022 and last updated in April 2024

Synopsis

Training Notes TN44, The message of your buildings, considered what our church plant and grounds might communicate to those outside the family of faith who see them or use them. These new notes do the same for messages that our church members may send to the community living around our church buildings. They do this by considering seven warnings. These concern:

• The cars we park
• The noise we create
• The behaviour we show
• The involvement we avoid
• The welcome we omit
• The presence we hide
• The attitude we display

These are followed by discussion questions for groups.

These notes were updated in April 2024 with minor amendments to the format.
