Faith Study for Small Groups & Informal Conversations
God loves YOU – you matter to God! All the different aspects of your life matter to God. You were created by God as a one-of-a-kind person with gifts and possibilities to share with others. How you live out your life, today and across time, is something God cares about – because you matter to God!
YOU – it isn’t just singular, it’s plural too. God loves us all, together, as a community. God loves all communities. It matters to God how our community shares its gifts, creating new possibilities for others. It matters to God how our community strives to co-create a world closer to what Jesus imagines – because our community and all communities matter to God.
How can you listen for God’s love and guidance in new ways? What gift do you have to share with others, in a new way, in this new time? What will sustain you in this unprecedented time? How is God walking alongside you right now? What can you discover from listening deeply to others and listening to your life, that will carry you forward to be a blessing to others?
Engage in conversations with others to explore more deeply how the theme resonates in your life. This faith study is on-line for small groups and for friends and family meeting informally. To find out more contact: dfloe@incarnationmn.org
