Adding Each Individual Strength

The whole Body is fitted and joined together, every joint adding its own strength.

(Ephesians 4:16)

What does the message from Scripture tell you about the value of working together in our classroom community?

Where do you fit into the overall picture?

How do you assist in making things work?

Great posts by everyone who took the time and effort to think about the message taken from Ephesians.

I think you have expressed some excellent ideas about the importance of the scripture's message.

Your responses show insight and depth ... great reflective thought!

I'm thinking that the art idea in the picture is an interesting way to represent the significance of the message. I'm also thinking that we could do something like this in class ... or do any of you have a better idea that you could share with us?
