Small Groups...

Wow,  two posts within in one week! How cool! ( Don't expect this all the time though...)

I just wanted to share something that is close to my heart, something that I believe really encourages and inspires the community. Which is the Small Groups. We have two. One on Tuesdays and one on Thursdays. What they are is a time where volunteers from both Shelter Hostels, City and Jordan, come together and have a time of worship and encouragement. We take 2 hours each week to eat breakfast together, worship,  share our lives and become a little bit more of a family, which is actually what we become.

Over the past 6 months I've really enjoyed seeing the groups grow and change. With each new staff member brings a little something different. And as each staff member leaves you can see how they left a tiny piece of themselves to influence the group.

You can see how people in the beginning are just a bit unsure of themselves and as the weeks go on they become more confident and outgoing. I love being part of that and watching people grow and witnessing the joy that God brings to their lives. Everyone's unique personalities coming together to build each other up in the Lord. What could be better than that? Just an example of true christian fellowship.  
     
Anyway, I just thought I would share that with
you. Hope you enjoyed!
