8.25 [TEACHING] Our Mantras, 2024 - Everyone an Icon

Jason Miller - We’re returning to our community mantras. These four portable prayers describe what we’re learning from Jesus about how to be human and how to be a church. This week, we talk about the calling on all of us to bear the image of God, and to honor the image of God in ourselves, our neighbors, and even our enemies.

This weekend we also had the chance to see this mantra in action as we celebrate a project we've been supporting for a couple of years. The Book of Belonging is a book of diverse Bible stories for kind and contemplative kids that focus on wonder, contemplation, and identity; because everyone belongs. To learn more about this incredible resource, we had the chance to sit down and talk with the author, Mariko Clark, before the teaching.
