COMMUNITY: from Middle English comunete, from Anglo-French communité, from Latin communitat-, communitas, from communis. First Known Use: 14th century.
1. a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.
2. a locality inhabited by such a group.
3. a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists (usually preceded by the ): the business community; the community of scholars.It looks like to me that if you apply the idea of community far enough, it will eventually encompass everything and everybody in one form or another. How cool is that?
It’s REAL cool, I’d say….
There are many other ways to define community, but one of my favorites is this one -
“it’s who you do life with.”
So my question today is “who do YOU do life with ??”
Life is a lot more fun, rewarding and easier when you do it in community.So here’s my challenge – as we begin this year 2012 if you’ve never been involved in real community, we here at Belmont want to invite YOU to consider walking out on the diving board and taking the leap! I can say with great certainty that you won’t regret it.
We’ll be offering more great ways to get connected, to get involved, and to find your place than ever before…there is something for everybody. Guaranteed.Come bring your piece of life and join with us in all that community has to offer !
I dare you…….
Actually, I DOUBLE-DOG dare you…..
Come on in, the water is very fine !
