REBOOT: Creating a New Normal
October 11, 2020

In a quick poll on Facebook this week, people responded to the question, “What has been the most difficult thing for you to cope with during the seven months of pandemic?” A variety of responses came in, but there was one clear theme. Let’s see if you can catch it…
                “Teaching school virtually.”
                “No in-person church.”
                “No gathering.”
                “…loneliness…”
                “…isolation…”
                “Missing family and friends.”
                “No hugs.”

Not one person mentioned finances. Nobody complained about masks. Activities like sporting events, concerts, or movies didn’t make the list. What most people miss more than anything is community. We are wired for connection. God designed us for relationship. But the framework that afforded us the opportunities to connect has been radically altered, if not eliminated, for many of us.

So what does community look like in a Covid culture? How do we connect and even BUILD relationships in this time where social distance is required?

Throughout our Fall sermon series, entitled REBOOT, we’re taking a look at what it looks like for us to thrive and flourish in every area of our lives, even in challenging circumstances. This week we’ll be talking about how to foster connection and community in this season.
