Church as

blind receiving sight

the lame walking

lepers cleaned

the deaf hearing

the dead raised

the poor have good news brought

people who are blessed

Church as

the healing pool

the recovery ward

the regeneration site

the restoration project

the redevelopment agency

the new business park

the good news agency

the escape committee

a signpost for blessings

a witness to grace

a welcome to hopefulness

a green light to adventure

a journey with God

Church as

Wilderness voice 

powerless, 

marginal,  

grace-full, 

reconciled, 

Immanuel 

relevant, 

irritant

imagining, 

inspiring

prophetic
