March 27, 2021 - 10 to Noon
Los Rios District ​Leadership Training
Featuring Dr. Mary Cheng

PictureDr. Mary Cheng
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.

Three Quotes from Dr. Cheng's Presentation:
  • "[We are] born broken [we live] by mending.  The grace of God is the glue." {Adapted by Mary Cheng from writings of Eugene O'Neill}
  • "The wound is the place where light enters in."  Rumi, Persian Poet
  • "Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people.  It will keep you cramped and insane our whole life."  Anne Lamott

​The March 27th offering will support the Back Pack Project initiated by the Walnut Creek UMW.  The backpacks are for foster youth and distributed in conjunction with the Contra Costa Independent Skills Learning Program (ILSP).  Information on the ILSP program can be found on their website;  https://cocoilsp.org
​
Specifics on the Back Pack Project are found on the Walnut Creek UMW website under 'What We Do."  www.walnutcreekumw.org
