Day 1 – “Pap”

Images of healing are everywhere. Repair, reconciliation, honesty, vulnerability, joy, cheer, and rest. In our 40 Day journey towards Easter this year, members share what our eyes have seen or hands created that inspires hope in better and brighter relationships.

Our prayer is that these images can stir our imagination for healing, even healings we believe to be impossible.

“Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly… you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in” (Isaiah 58:8a, 12b).

We will share our first three days with you on this broader list.  After that, you will need to subscribe to the 40 Day Blog.
