Loneliness is a desire for human connection while feeling isolated. According to studies from the University of Chicago Medical Department, there is a connection between loneliness and health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diminished sleep quality, increased inflammation and decreased viral immunity. This Sunday, let’s explore God’s life-giving plan that displaces loneliness with joy and hope in our lives.
Have you ever wondered if going to church is really that important? Coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic, our world still feels more isolated, and it’s more and more common to stay home, work from home, and even “church” from home. This week we discuss the value of gathering with fellow believers, and take a look in the book of Acts at the early church’s extremely communal lifestyle. We remember that we can’t do it alone – we can only be the bride of Christ as we come together to worship, sing, learn and grow.
