## Resource

"IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST go alone. If you want to go far, go together." This African proverb rings true in so many ways, yet we're still tempted to abandon the slow, messy process of doing life "with others". The need for speed draws all of us impatient people off track. We’ve all been frustrated by the slowness of a group sometimes, right? Anyone try to wrangle a big family at Disneyland, or get a committee to make an important decision and actually carry out a plan? Ecclesiastes, chapters 4-9 take us down some meandering paths of wisdom, but one overarching theme is that doing "Life On Purpose" will mean doing life - WITH others. And there's an art to it. There's nuance, and the author shares some helpful tips that can make a difference for us. It turns out the treasure of community was designed by God all along, and the invitation to experience it His way is open to us all! Sunday 10:30AM // 70 Stephens Ln. Bayside, CA 95524
