Small Group (finally!)

I am so excited to say we are finally joining/starting an adult small group.  After 8 years of serving in the student ministry, leading small groups, and mentoring we are finally committing time to our own spiritual growth and community.  I could give a million excuses about how we didn’t have time before now and how busy we stay but truthfully we never felt like we had the right timing and group.  I am very hopeful and optimistic that this group will help fill a couple holes in our lives that have existed for a while.  We don’t have a lot of other Christian friends so sometimes the advice we get and the interactions we have doesn’t hold us accountable to our faith.  As we’ve grown older we can see how busy everyone is and we’ve seen that there are many times when family and your church family are the only people who consistently come through when you need them.  We haven’t invested enough in building adult relationships within our church family and we are so excited to make that more of a priority.  We met once already to talk about what we were all seeking out of the group and realistically what frequency we could meet.  The other couples have young kids (several of them each) so it makes scheduling and location challenging.  Christina, Andy, Joel, and Angel are all people I respect tremendously and I’m looking forward to everyone being able to be open and supportive about the real challenges we all face and help build one another up in our faith.  Our first official meeting is next Monday the 10^th!
