No Tie July Alternative

Every summer, a lot of churches have what they call No Tie July. The basic idea is this: “It’s hot out there! Let’s dress a little more coolly.” Overall, I think it’s a fine thing to do (especially since I don’t often wear a tie in the other 11 months). I would like to propose, though, a companion event for the youth, who, as a group, don’t often wear ties. To help them feel plugged in to church life, then, I propose this:

No Thigh July

I have to be honest with you, I’m a bit tired of walking down the halls and seeing legs bared as if in preparation for a Nair commercial.  I’ve even seen some young…um… ladies wearing shorts so short that they could not modestly bend over. The Body doesn’t need to see so much of yours.
