When I think of a congregation, I think of connections. Like the chain above,
we are connected. We are connected, perhaps by family relationship. We might be
connected as neighbors. The communities in which we live connect us. Age, work,
schools all provide connections.
The most important connection comes because of faith communities to which
we belong. In this case, we are a part of First Christian Church.
The chain above can be broken. Each link is important for all of the others to
exist. There is no link that is more important than any other.
Where are you as a part of the chain that God has called together as First
Christian? As we move forward, will you seek to be the strongest link possible and
not allow the chain to fail in any way?
