Discussion Questions

What is your favorite part of creation?  Why?

How do you feel when you hear you are made in the image of God?  Why do you think that is?

Be intentional this week about caring for creation. A few ideas: If you don’t recycle regularly, practice recycling; pick up trash in a local park; set out bird feeders for migrating birds; strike up a conversation with a stranger.
