The blessing you need might require you to put your pride down.

Main message: The church's fellowship is meant to create real relationships so people have others to lean on in hard times; pride should not keep you from receiving help.

Key points:

• Fellowship activities (the "groove") help people loosen up and build genuine friendships.
• Those relationships ensure you have someone to call and share burdens with during crises.
• Don't let pride prevent you from reaching out to the person sitting next to you.
• Receiving help is not a sign of weakness; it's what the church/foundation was built to do.
• The church's role is to hold one another when life's storms hit.
