Engage Some discussion ideas … What does a new community need to be successful? What can harm a community? What are the advantages of working as a community? Video – “Building Communities”… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nj0jLsYab4

Respond [Have a minute of silent reflection, thinking about the theme of today’s worship – then say the prayer …] We are made to be people of community, In our homes, places of worship, Youth groups and school. May we always be mindful of each other, Strengthen and encourage, And may the love of Christ rule in our hearts. Amen
