Leaders, I am thrilled that it is September and Community Groups are back. There are many things in the life of the church and the people of the church that I think Community Groups are the answer to. I know that as the Groups Pastor I am supposed to think that, but I truly believe it. The more I see the extreme lack of relationships and connections in our valley and the staggering amount of people who are walking through life totally unknown, the more it just makes me believe that Groups are so vital and such a missing element. The struggle is that people who have not had something don't realize they are missing something. But this is where you come in, super-hero-like leaders ready to show others that God did not create us to fly solo. We were created to be in community: we need community, we desperately need God, and we also need each other.  This is why I cannot wait to get this season under way, and I look forward to what God is going to do in and through Groups this season, so let's get started.
