Here’s a challenge you can present to your congregation:

There is a popular hymn, “They’ll know we are Christians by our love.”

“Love” is not a very clear word. It requires some definition!

Ask members, colleagues, committee members, governing board, children, youth, visitors, etc. to rewrite the words to the hymn and define exactly how people will know you are a Christian.

“They will know we are Christians by ____________________________.”

Make a youth project out of the question. Ask them to make a montage video of people’s answers with the hymn playing softly in the background. Post it on YouTube and send us a link!

Might be an interesting exercise. Share the new words with one another  . . . or send them to us. We’ll make a blog post out of them!
