In the beginning...

Welcome to Jesus Shaped Things! This is an experiment of sorts to share some of the grace and joy we experience in our Youth Formation class each Sunday at Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Sandy Springs, GA.

A word on our name: Jesus Shaped Things came from a sermon given by Zack, a priest here at HIEC. When I first heard the phrase, I pictured a church full of artifacts shaped in the form of Jesus (kind of like animal crackers are shaped like their namesakes) and I had a little chuckle. Of course, Zack was not intending to mean things shaped like Jesus, but rather shaped by Jesus.

To me, this double meaning captures the spirit of what we hope to share: insights that are at the same time irreverent and holy.

God's peace,
Chris
