On Sunday, March 25, we celebrate the gift of Friendship by warmly welcoming our friends to church.

Friendship is born at that moment when
one person says to another, ‘What! You too?
I thought I was the only one.’
– C. S. Lewis

This is an opportunity for all of us to share our friends with each other. While we are always encouraged to share our community of faith, this Sunday is set aside to celebrate all the special connections we have, from our weekly bridge partners to new neighbors to someone who is in transition or just needs some cheering up.

Two people are better off than one,
for they can help each other succeed.
If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.
– Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NLT)

Who knows how many old friends and new friends will be discovered by this simple gathering?
