One of the greatest irritations of my ministry in Pine Meadow is keeping the spotlight which shines on the front of the church working as it should. Besides replacing light bulbs, I have to reset the timer to correspond with times of light and night, and this is not a digital wonder, like we have these days. Sometimes it's wrong because there's a screw loose, literally.
I don't know if anyone has ever come to St. John's because it is so visible at night, but it doesn't hurt.
The other night I visited another parish. My GPS told me where it was, but the first time I passed it I just kept driving. The parish house was dimly lit, but it looked like a residence. The church was not lighted at all. Probably other people have missed it, just as I did.
It's not green to have a light on at night, but it seems to me that it's definitely in line with our charge to spread the Gospel and bring light to the world.
Shine on!
