Community

Where do you find your sense of community when you aren't near your family?

I was reminded of where I find community last weekend.
Untitled, the young professionals group at Riverbend hosted an "On Location."

What is an "On Location" you ask?
Well rather than staying at Riverbend for an event, Untitled headed downtown to the Ale House for a night showcasing creativity. It was a featuring the amazingly talented musicians from Riverbend performing their original music. In addition to the music a comedy troupe performed an improv routine that brought the group to bellows of laughter.

What I loved about it more than the music and the improv was the sense of community. I looked all around the room and could see so many people talking and enjoying themselves and the atmosphere, and I just smiled--it felt like "home."

So many times we forget how important community really is until we no longer have it. And life can get in the way of that community. I love the fact that Untitled can be and is anywhere...whether that is at church on a Sunday morning, at an "On Location" downtown, or hosting a bowling night for the girls at the state home, the sense of community is always present. It is hard to lose that sense of community when you can go so many different places within Untitled, and find it.

What does your community look like?
