The Good Work of Love: Mending to Make New
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph.2:10
Using Ephesians 2:10 as our starting point, we will explore the theme of doing and being God’s good work of love in a fractured world. Weaving together Scripture, stories, and art, particularly Kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery, we will find encouragement, hope, and wisdom for living and leading during these extraordinary times.
