What is God teaching you through Imago Dei?
I think God is stretching me to realize that being myself is okay: My community likes me, and I DO fit in. The body of Christ, as expressed through the people at Imago Dei, is something so beautiful to me. I have met people who truly inspire me to do my best to serve this congregation with all that I have. I love how I have been loved, connected to, and interacted with on Sunday mornings and throughout the last year at different times. To see others grow into a community that is for each other is something I have witnessed first hand. To know that this is only the beginning of more small communities growing is something I think is awesome.
