Rev. Meredith Garmon ~ “Longing for Belonging”
It's our greatest need, and lifts us into our flourishing. Yet it also makes us susceptible to mob psychology, groupthink, support of authoritarianism, and anxiety about people we think don't belong. In our need to belong, we can deny belonging to others. But a world where everyone belongs is possible.
The Time for All Ages story during worship will be Mira and the Big Story by Laura Alary and illustrated by Sue Todd. This story is about belonging. Click here for a story activity sheetto use during worship.
