included

all of us want to belong to something. we feel better about ourselves when we belong. on facebook there are groups, causes and fan pages. we like to see how many friends we can have on myspace, facebook and msn.

at school, there are different groups you can be part of. it could be a group of friends that you hang around. it could be something you're involved in. it feels great to identify with a group. it feels good to be included.

• what about when you get excluded, though?
• have you ever experienced that?
• do you know what it feels like to want to be part of something, but you're being pushed out?

"at bikers church, you belong by showing up..." is what the church is about. that means for the youth, too.

• do you think it's possible for everyone to feel like they belong?
• what can we do to help people belong?
• what would make you feel like you belong?
• what do you think it means to belong to something?

let me know what you think.
