Benediction: Living Into Our Need For Community Like Jesus Did (based on Genesis 1:26 and John 14:7)

We have been hardwired by God to live in meaningful connection with each other.  Jesus modeled this during his time on earth.

So with Christ as our example, may God's Spirit move us towards ever deeper and richer relationships and community. Within them, may we experience God's love, joy, peace, grace, and hope.
