The Importance of a Church Family

I don't know how people get through life without having a Church Family. A Church Family is so much more than just friends, church socials or who sits next to you on the pew.

A Church Family is your support network. These are the people you can count on when you are going through the storms of life. These are the people that will give you a hug when you need it, to pray with you and pray for you, stand with you, help you find strength for the moment. Church is so much more than Easter and Christmas service, it is more than where you get married or buried. Your Church Family is where you find lasting friendships, love, acceptance, encouragement and help in the time of need.

“If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! … Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:10- 11 (NIV)
