“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11
This week we’ve been reflecting on community — what it means to belong somewhere, and what it means to make others feel they belong too.
We hear it again and again from people who come to St Mary’s for the first time: they didn’t expect to feel so welcome. They didn’t expect people to remember their name, or to check in the following week, or to save them a seat.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice — made over and over by the people who make up this church family.
💬 Who in your life has made you feel truly welcome — in church or anywhere else? Tell us about them in the comments. Let’s celebrate the encouragers among us. 🙌
