Each month we get our church groups together for a “Celebration” Sunday. We focus on time spent together, on the kids, on communion. In March we decided to shake things up a little after Abraham, who used to meet with one of our groups, came to propose a joint meeting with the church he is currently leading. After running the idea by the church, everyone was in agreement and looking forward to meeting new brothers and sisters.
Together our two groups rented out the cafe on a Sunday morning and gathered around the patio. All told we had over 50 people in attendance (children included) and enjoyed a good morning of singing, study and fellowship. Both groups were encouraged by this shared time, as we were reminded again that God's family extends beyond whatever smaller group we call our own.
