The Call To Include | FRIENDS (Pt.2)

Have you ever felt like an outsider in a community? Perhaps you've experienced being the new kid at school, starting a new job, or relocating to a different city or even a new country. In those situations, did you feel welcomed in an entirely unfamiliar place? Or have you ever played a role in making someone else feel welcome?
Indeed, the power of friendship that truly brings life requires attention.
As children of God, we are designed to cultivate friendships that could bring us joy, happiness, and a sense of belonging.
We understand that friendship is important, but how can we break down social barriers to create community like Jesus did? What practical steps can we take to be a light in our communities and grow as individuals? How might our neighborhoods and workplaces transform if we truly embraced the call to inclusive friendship?
Join us as we continue our series filled with love and joy, Friends. Together, let's reflect on principles that can reshape our lives and communities. Let us together learn to transform our world and be a blessing to our friends, family, and our loved ones.

ABOUT OUR CURRENT SERIES: Friends
Let’s be honest - authentic friendships and real intimacy are lacking for most people in our day. We recognize the need for trusted friends but struggle to know how to cultivate meaningful connections. This series will help you create a strong foundation of friendships, one that leads to a more fulfilling emotional, relational, and spiritual life.
