Community of Joy Lutheran Church issued the following announcement on June 27.
In Luke 10, Jesus invites his followers to go out and join in the work he has already been doing. They return delighted to have been able to participate. Consider the old image of Jesus standing in front of a door, with one hand raised as if to knock (many churches have an image like this somewhere in or near their worship space).
What if, instead of imagining that Jesus is about to ask if he can come in, you imagine that he is going to ask if you can come out and join him?
What if he is like a child asking if their best friend can come out and play?
