We know that true, deep and even intergenerational Christian community is essential: based on a need that God made us with, and planted deep inside our very essence and being, in His image. God made us for each other and draws us together in His Word and Sacrament. God places us in families, churches, youth ministry and more to meet our need for community

Family…we’ve all got one. We are a part of one and it is a part of us. Whether we like it or not, our family is our people. We are knit together by the closest of ties.

Share your responses together and see how the Lord leads you as you discuss.
