John 10:11-18 | Belonging. The word may simply refer to the ownership of property, or, may refer to an intent for acceptance and inclusion. More and more within society, groups have made efforts to create a space of “belonging.” But in Christ, belonging goes to the next level. For in Christ, belonging is not simply being a part of a group, but as the Gospel of John points us to, belonging is an experience of God’s abundant life – now, and into the future. So this weekend, as we witness God’s gift of grace poured out in baptism, drawing us to God’s self, join us for worship as we are invited to belong to Christ as a part of God’s flock, and as we are invited to belong to one another in community.
