Community Matters
By Jean Salisbury
When I joined Southwood Lutheran Church, I did not know anyone in the church, having moved from a small town, but I felt a drawing to Southwood. Moving
forward, I came to a gathering to join a Small Group for Bible study. Little did I know at that time that this group would still be together years later forging friendships that continue to grow stronger. It is a small community within a larger one.
Christian life is not to be lived in isolation, but in community with other believers. If you just come to church and leave, without getting to know some of your fellow believers, you’re missing one of the main sources for growth and encouragement in your Christian life.
Our Small Group has diversity in ages and stages of life. We come together in Jesus’ name with many similar beliefs as well as those that are different. Even so, we are respectful and share the aspect of applying God’s word in our lives. It’s how we learn and grow, in both faith and friendship.
