Discussion question for December 9, 2022.

When we are secure in our identity we know what we have to offer to a community.  What are the key characteristics of belonging, and how do you know you are accepted?  How does your relationship with God demonstrate that you belong with Him?  How would you define “meaningful participation” in a relationship or group setting?  What attributes have you had affirmed by someone you trust?  How else have you discovered your gifts in a group setting?  How do you know when you are working in your strengths versus striving to adapt to expectations or cope with stress?
