A sign of the times
With APEC hitting Sydney this week (21 world leaders from nations comprising over 50% of global GDP), I'm looking for a sign. That is, a sign to go up out the front of our church. Any suggestions?
The current sign reads Thank God you're here. I'm intrigued to frequently find new people mentioning the sign as one reason they felt willing to check out our church. Earlier this year, I mentioned a few previous attempts, and also posted some pictures of the board.

How about something eschatological like: "When Jesus visits Sydney, it won't just be an inconvenience."
Or:
APEC
All-Souls
People
Enjoy
Church
Join us!
Or:
Come join us for our meeting this week - we won't make you wear funny clothes...
what about... there are no fences around God - he is very approachable unlike some...
i would like a t-shirt that said 'jesus is a barrier to free-trade'
Here is another suggestions:
A
Present [/Pressing/Pending]
Ecological
Crisis
I know you love confrontation, Byron, so here's my suggestion.
How about,
"God's economy is generosity."
Gordon - I do love confrontation, when it done with respect and love.
For those who missed Gordon's suggestion, it was:
APEC* must repent
*All People Except Christians
As this is being discussed over on the board to which Gordon linked, I won't say more here, except to put my counter-suggestion:
APEC* must repent
*All People, Even Christians
Cyberpastor - I like it. Tim and I were trying to think of something about economics and prosperity, but ours were all negative ("there is more to life than prosperity", etc).
Here's another one I like, by Roger Bray:
Are
People
Equally
Cared for?
APEC leaders spend --
Jesus saves
As this is being discussed over on the board to which Gordon linked, I won't say more here, except to put my counter-suggestion:
APEC* must repent
*All People, Even Christians
I rather like:
APEC* must repent
*All People, Even Cheng
Mind you, while I think that it might create a bit of conversation in Anglican circles, it won't mean anything to the general public.
I'd possibly take your suggestion, but recognising that a bit of self-deprecation works a treat, I'd go a little further:
*All People, Especially Christians
Just to round things off, this is one I thought of on the way to work:
"Jesus: A world leader who doesn't believe in barriers."
