We are heading into week four of our series, Better Together, and there is nothing that says “Together” quite like “Family.” As a church, one of our core values is “Our Family: We are part of one vine with many branches.” Today, we explore this theme and recognize both the joys and struggles of family life. It takes work to make a family happen. And it requires a loyalty that is often missing in our individualistic world, especially when the family is one you have chosen and are not born into. But family also should come with a sense of belonging that is essential for life.
