ALL in the community are welcome to come and join us Monday evenings at 5:30p in October for a book study. We will be reading and discussing The Loneliness Epidemic by Susan Mettes. An absolutely relevant topic for all of us.
Please message us on Facebook to reserve a book, or call the office at 641-423-4905. The cost is $14.12. If that is a financial hardship, just let the office know and we will make sure you still get a book.
Guided by current research from Barna Group, Mettes illustrates the profound physical, emotional, and social toll of loneliness in the United States. Surprisingly, her research shows that it is not the oldest Americans but the youngest adults who are loneliest and that social media can actually play a positive role in alleviating loneliness. Mettes highlights the role that belonging, friendship, closeness, and expectations play in preventing it. She also offers meaningful ways the church can minister to lonely people, going far beyond simplistic solutions--like helping them meet new people--to addressing their inner lives and the God who understands them.
