Last night, my community group met without me…actually they staged a coup and voted me off the “community group” island…then they met without me and had a great time…while Amy and I sat alone in our sadness and cried over the rejection.
Okay, so that’s not entirely true. What actually happened is that we started getting together with two couples in their twenties (we’ve added three more people in the last couple weeks) a couple months ago. We’ve had a blast hanging out, playing Psycho Uno and Heck, talking about life, arguing over theology, and eating some incredible food. Last night, my 7 year old daughter had a softball tournament game near Mall of Georgia and we had to skip out on the community group. We talked about postponing or rescheduling it, but decided to just cancel it for the night. The coolest thing is that, the other couples decided to get together anyway. They’re really enjoying living life together and building the relationship between them. Amy and I couldn’t be happier that they are actually enjoying this important part of Church At The Grove…encouraging relationships through community groups.
If you don’t have a group of people that you gather with to “do life with”…you need one. When August rolls around, be sure to sign up for one…or just start one at your house this Summer with your friends or neighbors…or, if you’re in your twenties, come hang out with us…we’d love to have you.
Enjoy the rest of your week and we’ll see you Sunday!
