About Me
When did you feel drawn to Jesus and start to believe that he was the Son of God? Have there been different seasons in your life where you have seen Jesus and who he is in a new light?

Community
Who in your life came close to you in a difficult time?

Mission

Action
What would it mean to move close to the people you mentioned in the section above like Jesus did and enter their darkness or experience their world?

Jesus, thank you for entering our darkness, experiencing our disorientation, taking our judgment, and opening the way to God. There is no one like you. You are God and you lower yourself in love to be with us. Fill us with your Holy Spirit so that we can follow you all the way to the cross and enter into other people’s difficulty to love them well. Amen
