    95. Welcome to the Family - Friday

    95. Welcome to the FamilyFriday - March 6, 2026 We wrap up our week on Being Together by looking at the verse from Ephesians that declares us part of God’s family. We reflect on what we’ve experienced this week and look for ways to deepen connections as we move forward. Discussion Question(s) • Did you have any moments this week when you felt connected to someone else or a group of people? How did it make you feel? • Why do you think God made community and connection such a big deal when God designed the world, animals, and us humans? • Are there any new connections you’d like to make or old connections you’d like to make stronger? Prayer Dear God, we thank you that we’re *not* strangers but members of your family. We are all God’s children. May we keep our connection to you and each other on our hearts and in our minds so we can look for ways to join you in strengthening these bonds. Amen.

    94. Noticing Who's Left OutThursday - March 5, 2026 The playground is packed on a beautiful Grace Harbor afternoon, but not everyone is having fun. We discover that being together sometimes means being the one who notices when others feel left out. Discussion Question(s) • Can you think of anyone in your life who might be feeling lonely or left out? Prayer Dear God, we’re grateful for the times when we feel connected to community and loved by our friends and family. There are also times when we can feel lonely and left out, even if we’re surrounded by other people. Comfort us when we feel this way, but also keep our eyes open so we can be a source of comfort and connection for others as well. Amen. Episode Music: Leaving by LNDÖ --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories!

    92. Long Distance GratitudeTuesday - March 3, 2026 Dan's reading a book set in Japan and getting excited for a Spring Break trip to Hawaii. For Gratituesday, we focus on people we miss—near, far, and those no longer with us—and discover that being together doesn't always mean being in the same room. Discussion Question(s) • Who is someone you miss, and what do you love about them? Prayer Dear God, we thank you that you are as near to us as the breath in our lungs. Sometimes, we can feel disconnected and faraway from you or the people we miss, but remind us that love is what binds us all together. Amen.

    90. Brave Enough to Let GoFriday - February 27, 2026 A burst pipe at The Blue Anchor teaches us that even the most capable people need help sometimes. As we close our week on bravery, we discover that one of the bravest things we can do is let go and let others—including God—help us. Discussion Question(s) • What is something you could really use some help with, but you haven’t asked for it yet? Prayer Dear God, we thank you that you are always with us and always listening. Give us the bravery to ask you for help whenever we need it, knowing that no matter what we ask, you respond to us in love. Amen. Episode Music: Secret Path by Reveille --- 📝 Send Us Your Stories!
