"Are You Connecting?”

One of the elements I admire about Eagle Ridge is the loving and friendly atmosphere that we work so hard to maintain. We work at this because people are important to us. When you visit Eagle Ridge you will experience the blessing of Christian fellowship and friendship.

The truth is people like to be known, cared for and acknowledged. In a society driven by fast but impersonal contact; where interaction with others is typically not person-to-person, a void is created within the heart for significant fellowship with others.

God’s Word speaks of the benefits of friendship, “Two people are better than one because {together} they have a good reward for their hard work. If one falls, the other can help his friend get up. But how tragic it is for the one who is {all} alone when he falls. There is no one to help him get up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 GW).

I witness the reality of this Scripture regularly as lasting friendships develop and Christian fellowship takes place at Eagle Ridge.

Now, let me ask you, are you connecting? Are you developing friendships? If not, I’d like to invite you to a great church where Christian friendship and fellowship are an important part of what we do here at Eagle Ridge.

Looking forward to meeting you!
