In a world of social distancing, one of the things that we are all craving right now is a time when we can be together again. Together with friends, together with family, together with those we love.

With that in mind, we’re starting a new series called “Together”. It’s based on John’s first letter to his friends from whom he was separated. It’s a letter in which John presents us with an intoxicating offer – an offer of intimacy with God, a togetherness with Him and not just with Him but with all those who share that intimacy with Him. It’s an offer of an intimacy with God that produces a togetherness with others that transforms this life and transforms our relationships in this life by giving them a depth, a togetherness, that nothing else can match.
