Friendship

Hello Ethnos:

I heard a number of great comments about how God used Anna's message this last week on deeper friendships. I too was challenged, needing to embrace and work through some conflict issues in my life. It's great to know that we are a community striving for these things. And it's great to have a community where all of us- Anna included- have a role to play in making this community what it is!

Speaking of friendship and being a part of the community, be sure to get involved in a COMMUNITY GROUP if you haven't already. Especially if you're new and are hungering for the ideals of friendship and community. It won't happen over night, but Community Groups are where they happen. Beginning this week, too, a number of our Community Groups are starting a new curriculum. It's a great time to join, so be sure to sign up!

Last but not least, believe it or not, the 2008 elections are less than a week away! Thanks again for making our previous weeks on the subject enjoyable. Be sure to check out the below on a way you can help and be involved on Tuesday, Nov. 4 in our community. And check out the attached postscripts from our panelists during the gay marriage discussion Sunday.

Blessings this week-
