Sunday, may 8 - Connected by sacred scars
We revisit the wonderful story of Honest Thomas, this time to delve into the deep truth it wants to teach us about our scars. We tend to cover up our scars and hide our woundedness from each other.
In the story, the resurrected Jesus keeps his wounds and scars and uses them as a way of connecting with Thomas. Our wounds and scars also are a sacred means of connection to God and to one another. They become a means of grace if we allow it and work with it.
We’ll discuss our scars Sunday during our service at 10 a.m. at the East Butler YMCA.
