Church is a Verb

In the English language many nouns have been "verbed," or turned into action words. For example, you can Google someone, Xerox a document, friend someone on Myspace, or Facebook someone. All of these words (Google, Xerox, friend, Facebook) were originally nouns that we've turned into verbs. The BishBash Power Sqaud wants to add church to that list.

Instead of church being just a place we go, let's make church a thing we do.

You help at a soup kitchen: you churched. You stood up for a schoolmate being bullied: you churched. You worshipped, you prayed, you performed any act of love: you churched. You can even church at church! Saying "I church" is like saying "I help," "I give," "I love."

The theme for BishBash 2009 is "Church is a Verb." Let us know what you think! Leave us a comment here on the blog or e-mail Sky Lake director Matt Williams at matt(at)skylakecenter.org (replace the "(at)" with an "@," of course). Please share with us any ideas you may have for the day as well.

I church. Do you?
Rethink church.
