During this time of social distancing, you might be separated from your friends. You might be feeling lonely, left out and isolated. But even a pandemic can’t separate you from a friend! How do you support your friends while social distancing? 

Call them via FaceTime and ask them how they are doing.

“My friends and I have found many fun creative ways to interact with one another virtually. A group of friends and I would do Bible studies all the time and dive deep into the Bible. Another group of friends, that included my sister, would play Minecraft. We would join a group call and talk to one another while we would build things and also play the fun mini games.”
