If you’ve ever left your phone at home, you know what it’s like when the beginning stage of withdrawal sets in. You panic. You compulsively check your pockets, wondering if someone has texted you. You feel disconnected.
The difficulty of going “unplugged,” even for a day, is that we crave connection. From our earliest years, the need to belong drives many of our choices. Whether it’s an exchanged smile or a Facebook “like,” we are thrilled when someone notices and includes us.
This need to belong is as primal as our need for food and shelter and is part of what makes us human. God created us with this inborn need and designed the church to be a place where that need can be fulfilled. The church is not a building. It’s a community of people brought together to experience God’s love and purpose, people who are committed to knowing God and doing life together. Through thick and thin, these are the friends who stay by your side.
God wants each of us to find a place of belonging in His family. The prayer of the Granbury Church of Christ is that you will find that place of belonging with us.
