COMMUNITY NOTICE

.

  

.

Thanks Al for today’s words of wisdom.

Poster found on the wall of a church in France (translated….)

.

When you enter this Church

It may be that you hear the “call of God”.

However it is unlikely that he will call you on your mobile,

So thank you for turning off your phones.

If you want to talk to God, please enter, choose a quiet spot and talk to Him.

If you want to see Him, send a text while driving.
