A Place to Belong
Connection Card Prayer Requests
From February 8, 2015
Church isn’t a place—it’s people. Church isn’t just

People long to be connected; just not sure what they
are looking for.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
King Solomon says with unparalleled wisdom.
“Two people are better than one…” He then goes
on to describe three benefits of belonging.
• STRENGTH
First, belonging to a church family provides
strength. Solomon had discovered a principle that
holds true for every epoch of time—none of us can
do alone what all of us can do together. There is
strength in numbers.
• SUPPORT
Second, belonging to a church family provides
support. That’s what we’re supposed to do for one
another. The Bible says, “Carry each other’s
burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of
Christ.” Galatians 6:2
• SPIRITUAL WARMTH
Last, belonging to a church family provides spiritual
warmth. Anytime one of God’s children gets
separated from the family, our fire starts to go out
and spirits grow cold.
One of the important reasons the church meets
together every Sunday is to stir each other up.
Challenge: To pray for young families with
children and teens to desire to know the Lord and
allow us to work alongside to help them grow.
