Week 5 - April 1: Being You in the Neighborhood
Speaking -
We often hear to “love our neighbor as ourselves” but how do we really love ourselves? What does it mean to be unique and to be a person with gifts and flaws, and how can we see others that same way? Mr Rogers often uses the language “Just as you are” to describe how we are loved. What might it look like to see ourselves as loved, just as we are, and also see others as loved just as THEY are?
1 John 4: 7-16
