More Signs

I should have bought stock in signs. I am a big believer in signs. Every Sunday we post about 20 directional signs in our mission field. The signs go up at about 6 a.m. and come down after our worship celebration experience.

These signs are a bit more expensive than the ones I talked about in a previous post because we do not have them made in bulk, they do not all say the same thing, and they have better stakes since we are planting and uprooting them every week.

These signs of course are meant to help people find their way to the church but like the signs in the previous post they also create awareness in the community about New Season Church. They, like the other signs have our website and meeting place and time.

Unlike a permanent sign that many churches have on the side of the road which stops being noticed after a while, I think the temporary signs end up being noticed more often since they are not there all the time and not a permanent part of the landscape. We have had people come as first time guests because of these signs (no doubt they also checked out our website too beforehand).

The thing about these signs and all the signs in our worship space and leading to our worship space is that they are all about hospitality (offering hospitality as Christ offered hospitality). If we want people who have never been or have not been in a long time to come to church we have to do our best to remove all obstacles save for the cross of Christ. That is the aim of all our signage. It is hard enough for someone to actually decide to come, helping them know where to go takes away some anxiety.
