Nothing builds community like serving together. Nothing communicates Christ like serving others. Small groups serving is a win win!
What one group leader says about their small group serving…
“These projects have been much more of a blessing to me than I could have imagined. Its great to do something in the community but its been really great to get to know each other better. Our group has only been together a few months and I really love these guys. We had God pick the people in the group just by who signed up and He didn't make any mistakes. We are so very, very diverse and at different places in our lives, but this just seems to bring us closer together. Tonight as we were painting we had almost everyone there plus a couple of little kids, It struck me so hard that this was what Christ was about, bringing together people from different walks and forming bonds. Then showing others what Christ looks like by our love.”
