It’s easy to forget how important our connections with others are for our health — especially when it comes to keeping our hearts happy and healthy. While we often focus on things like eating well and exercising, the support we get from our communities is just as crucial.

Building connections with others creates an environment that encourages us to make healthy choices, supports us emotionally, and leads to a more joyful life. So reach out, join a group, or volunteer — let’s make heart health a team effort!

A few ways to get connected to a community through our church:

• Join an eGroup: Life is better when we are together. Surround yourself with a strong support system, and remember not to do life alone. Find a group now.
• Serve with Outreach: Make a lasting impact not just for others but with others. Find an outreach opportunity near you here.
• Do it as a family: Whether it’s encouraging your YTH to attend YTH Nights or your child to be part of eKidz on Sunday, make community a family focus.
