A huge need in people’s lives is to feel a sense of belonging. Jess, Lorna and Janell all share various stories where they have seen or felt this sense of belonging exist. They acknowledge its meaningfulness and how its goodness can trickle outward beyond an individual’s immediate communities. They shared a song that resonated with these themes: “Find your People” by Drew Holcomb. You can listen here. They further reflected on how communities of belonging create a dwelling place for God’s love and peace. SCC was then invited to discuss these following questions:
-
For you, what are the qualities and values of a community that you want to belong to?
-
Share instances when and where you have experienced this sense of belonging and care – in either familiar or surprising ways.
-
We identify with that need to belong. We are fortunate to have that here, yet how can we continue to nurture, encourage and support one another in sharing this beyond ourselves, and our immediate community?
