Slogans

The United Methodists have a slogan: "Open Minds, Open Hearts..." (or something like that). As I stood stirring the rice I cooked for supper tonight I thought, "why don't we Presbyies have a slogan?".
We have missions statements, themes for various groups but no slogan.
My guess is that we'd take 10 years to agree on a slogan. In the interest of time, here are some possibilities:

"The Presbyterian Church: We Aren't For Everyone"

"The Presbyterian Church: We Aren't For Everyone But You'll Understand at the End"

"Educated, Verbally Skilled and Ready to Serve Jesus"

"Presbyterians: Not Just for Old Folks"

"Presbyterians: We Don't Mean to Be Picky but Theology is Important to Us"

"You Are Welcome Here: Bring Your Brains Inside With You"

"Sanctified, Predestined and Humbled : The Presbyterian Church"

The Presbyterian Church: We Studied the Bible So We Ordain Called Women"

Ok, ok, I'm getting a tad feisty here. Can you help? Any suggestions?

Here in North Georgia, we've re-written the slogan,
It's "open hearts, open doors, open containers."
yeah, boy, we have fun -- but ain't no good ol' boy wif an open mind. Are you crazy??

How about, "Presbyterians - heads above the rest."

We sure are guilty of putting head above heart and emotion! Even so, I love where I am!
