It's...yah, Glenna - that's what I like about this. It's more than just small groups, b/c you sit w/different people each time. :)<BR/><BR/>Interesting thoughts, Rachel. From what I've seen, people have been pretty genuine. The questions are such, that you can be as deep or as shallow as you want. - but the thing i've noticed is that the people who attend that service are the ones who apreciate the ability to connect and go deeper. i often learn just as much (if not more) from what the people at my table share, as I do from the sermon. so fun! :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I like you. ;~)~just me~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00868685225004440463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655114.post-35666642209198165972008-02-12T14:47:00.000-08:002008-02-12T14:47:00.000-08:00That sounds fantastic!

But, the reason for not being in the mood would be because I would see it as yet another arena for people to have to be fake. I'd rather not discuss if it wasn't going to be real and authentic. Most people are so afraid of being transparent that those settings don't work because they give "church" answers. I do pray that this new set-up at your church works in helping the body to grow. Keep it real and hopefully others will follow your lead! Blessing on you today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844422388378500327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655114.post-30849501732705845142008-02-12T13:53:00.000-08:002008-02-12T13:53:00.000-08:00That sounds like a great idea and fun.

Our church has "small groups" too and I think that helps a lot, but you still only get to know a handful of people.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29655114.post-90831078558024622632008-02-12T08:08:00.000-08:002008-02-12T08:08:00.000-08:00Good for your church, Kari.

Our conclusion was to focus on relationships and be very involved w/ your small group. I do intend to pursue it further, brainstorming on how to work towards that kind of community...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
