Matthew 22:37-39 (New Living Translation)
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Celebrating COMMUNITY
Community is happening all around the Bible…
10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.
But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Ecc 4:10
Celebrating COMMUNITY
Community is happening all around us…
9However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Cor 2:9
Celebrating COMMUNITY
Why have I resisted engaging in COMMUNITY?
Celebrating COMMUNITY
Galatians 6:9-10
9-10So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good.
At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up or quit.
Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.
Celebrating Community
CLOSE ENOUGH TO KNOW = CELEBRATING + COMMUNITY
