Community Post

Special Note: Hit 30,000 hits yesterday.

Read this scripture:

For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.
Romans 12:4-8)
These two images in this post are of a quilt that is hanging in the Social Hall of the student center at Wesleyan. Individual fabric squares, all floral fabric, are sewn together according to color value. You can see in the other image that together these blocks form a cross.

Perhaps community / church is like that . God can see the picture that we make when we are united in purpose. He sews us together to create the piece of art that only he can imagine.

This is a beautiful quilt and I really like the metaphor for the body of Christ.
