That's fine again - but the word participation there is not an active verb, but a noun describing full membership in the family of God, whereas in your slogan you use participate as an active verb - one which connotes some degree of self-actualization. No slogan should ever undermine the truth - even potentially due to a misunderstanding, or even especially if the undermining would be due to a misunderstanding of the author's intent. This is perhaps one reason why I don't much like slogans used for teaching.
