God in our Lives Lesson 5.5.4

Aim:

To understand

that the church is a Community.

COMMUNITY is people joining together to provide for each other.

If we stop to think about it, we all rely on the support of COMMUNITIES!

There are many types of COMMUNITY groups in our neighbourhood, state, nation and in the world.

Jesus also asked His followers to care for and support each other, through their CHURCH COMMUNITIES.
