Growing As A Community of Faith

"Cheers" was a popular TV show for the better part of its run, stretching from 1982 to 1993. The words from the program's theme, "You want to go where everybody knows your name." captured well what the show was all about. For the characters in the show, the bar Cheers was community if not family.

Community is important. We have many examples in our day of virtual commuity through the various forms of social networking. It is wonderful getting connected to and reconnected to family and friends who have become distant. We are reminded that it really is not good for any of us to be alone and we long to be connected with those outside of ourselves.

Jesus meant for his church to be community. During this year, we are going to explore how we can grow as a community of faith. During January, we are going to look at the importance of community. We will use "Cheers" and find examples of principles taught in scripture. This should be an exciting study and we would love to have you join us at NBC each Sunday. You will also be able access the podcasts from this website.
