On Tuesday of this past week a really exciting and neat thing started. Our first Prototype Small Group met in Jane and I’s home. Nine adults and nine children made for a full and life-giving group!
From all accounts thus far, the start of this group was wonderful. In less than two hours we worshiped, reviewed vision, discussed the Word, and had a fun time of fellowship. And the children had an incredible time praying for each other and learning the Word together in their own “kids slot” while the adults met!
It was wonderful to relax on Tuesday night sharing the love of Jesus with each other in this group. There was freedom, order, ministry, and fun all in a non-stressed atmosphere. At times we were serious. At times we laughed until we almost cried. Jane and I can’t wait for Tuesday night again!
Our second Prototype Small Group of 16 adults and 7 children is set to start on Sunday night in our home. I expect that it will be just as good of a start as the first one!
From these two Prototype Small Groups a new network of Small Groups will naturally emerge as leaders multiply out of these two groups to start their own groups. Our prayer is that the vast majority of Fellowship Church will eventually be a part of one of these new life-giving Small Groups.
Loving and Leading,
