Your destiny is found in your connections. The quality of your life is largely determined by the quality of your relationships. You will become just like the people you hang around with.
These axioms have guided my life and ministry for many years.
Relationships can be a great channel of life or a destructive channel of toxicity.
This Sunday - Oct. 21 - we start a new Connect Group semester. 50 different groups will be available for people to start to build real relationships out of.
We know we cannot legislate relationships (how foolish to even try that) but we can help facilitate relationships. Connect Groups are a great way to start down the road to meaningful friendships.
Please let me encourage you to get involved in life giving relationships. Hardly anything is more important.
Get involved in a Connect Group this semester. You'll be glad you did.

You know, most churches offer advice, classes, seminars, and retreats- all in the name of a very important relationship... marriage. But, we are only married to one person, hopefully. There's family-but, most of the relationships we have are with friends.
Aside from what we are taught in weekly messages,I don't know that I've come across much in the way of "friend 101". You would think that being a friend just comes naturally to most, and doesn't require any education... and maybe, that way of thinking, is why so many friendships suffer.
Friend Ed. I think that's an idea worth mulling over.
