At the end of May we wrapped up what has been a successful year in gathering with the church in each other’s homes as “small groups.” The scheduling conflicts of summer plans tend to stifle the momentum of meeting together, and a few months away have all of us looking with anticipation for reuniting back together again in September.
In effort to end it with a bang, we all met at Pastor Ryan’s house, and this year the theme was a Chipotle cookout (patterned after the delicious restaurant chain). In like fashion, everyone had to stand in line and put in their orders while Pastor Ryan and Emily served and attempted to wrap giant burritos, and portion out 4 different types of salsa.
The ministry of “small groups” seeks to unite the church as a family in the context and setting of our homes, and develop unbreakable bonds defined as a community of faith, so that through our greatest joys and sorrows we can walk this journey of life together. See you all in a couple months!
