Jesus did a sign and then interpreted that sign as an act of prophesy. I believe that we at Seeker's often do small acts of prophesy, and it is important that we name them to each other. The Building Development Committee has faithfully bought us a building, and brought us to the point of renovating it to fit our needs and the needs of the community around us. Marjory and David write a magazine and support workshops to remind regular people that their work can support God's plan for the world. We all support a community that helps us all to know each other deeply in a world that would rather have us identify ourselves as consumers.
Kids can prophesy, too.
If you sit by a kid who has been left out at school, you are showing that you do not think that is fair, and making it obvious to others that they could have resisted being mean as well. You can remember that there are poor people who need both short-term help and long term justice and get everyone's attention by making lunches for the homeless or giving Christmas gifts to kids who otherwise wouldn't have them. God speaking through each of us to the world. And have them make me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell with them. Today we want to honor, as a whole community, the tremendous amount of careful, caring work that the Building Development Task Group has done to bring our hopes for a new building to the very concrete point of being ready to sign a contract with a Construction firm.
