We choose not to make a statement of either in
favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own
journey you have found that a light bulb works for you, that is fine.
You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal
relationship to your light bulb and present it next month at our annual
light bulb Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light
bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life,
and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence
through Jesus Christ.
