"God loves us just the way we are. But God loves us too much to let us stay the way we are. God keeps shaping us and leading us and pushing us to be better than we ever thought we could be." Bishop Goff sent the assembled into the world with this blessing: "Be strong. Be courageous. Never be afraid. For God who created you has always been with you and loves you fiercely." Wherever you are, wherever you go, remember your way home. Graphic design by Sarah Keithly, words by Henry Burt, concept by Alexander MacPhail.
