In the western world we now talk about loneliness as an epidemic. Studies reveal that feeling lonely is very common among the adult population - even in young adults. Research shows this is having a huge impact on our mental and physical health.
As a community of redeemed relationships with God and one another, the church is uniquely placed to offer friendship and even relationship skills training to our local communities.
Beck Miller is the creator of the Friendship Course. A short course designed for church communities to build their own relationship skills and meet the needs of the broader community in our lonely world.
At this event, Beck will explore some of the material in the course and highlight the difference friendship with Jesus makes to our own pursuit of friendship and in being good friends to others.
