Topic: Unity

Theme: Eucharist

Listen to the song about friendship - You’ve Got a Friend. Think about the lyrics and their meaning.  

Friendships may be between two or more people, but when a friendship excludes others all the time, it will be difficult for it flourish and grow.  It may be that a group of people come together, for a common purpose e.g. to play a sports game, to get a task done, to prepare for a celebration, to be part of a band etc.  Often when people come together it is to complete a task that would be difficult alone e.g. putting up a tent.  When people come together with a common purpose, there is unity between them.  They become as one.
