Dear friends,
Kintsugi has been a concept and metaphor that has helped our faith community imagine differently about God, ourselves and our journeys. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing something that has been broken with lacquer and gold, with the understanding that the object is more beautiful and valuable because it was once broken. Kintsugi really speaks to the restorative redemptive process of the gospel.
This video by Makoto Fujimura captures the essence of Kintsugi spirituality beautifully:

This Sunday, as part of our Homecoming series, we will be exploring the beauty that can come from brokenness as we consider how God is making us whole in our lives, our relationships, and our service to the world.
Shalom
Pauline
