Do you like your community group?

Let's hope that the answer to this question is "Yes." And if it isn't, well, then, pray that you will grow in fondness for the people in your group, at least to a level where you are not filled with a strong desire to kick one of them as they walk past you. For those who do like their community groups because they like the people or find it a splendid way to spend their Wednesday evenings, this is what they had to say:

"I love the opportunity to fellowship with new people on a deeper level. I also love our community group's random humor!"

~Brianna Smith

"I love building together with other families that God has given to us. Even though 'constant change is here to stay' these are the people God has called us to open our lives to and 'do life' with right now and friendships are being formed for life!"

~Evy Taracena

"I enjoy having a core group from where I can receive sound advice, encouragement, and prayer from an honest group of caring people. Also, I am loving the camaraderie that is slowly beginning to extend beyond our meetings. I am so thankful to God to be a part of such a community!"

~April Sanders

"I enjoy the chemistry our community group shares, and our meetings have been spiritually beneficial."

~Mark Novicio

"I enjoy my community group because it gives me a chance to build deeper relationships with guys and girls in Lightswitch."

~Bill Burnside

"I'm excited about my community group because I'm looking forward to more intimate Christian fellowship with other believers."

~Heidi Hempel

"I love talking, sharing, and praying with others in my community group."

~Victoria Sanders

"I'm learning a lot from the folks in my group. It's really encouraging to watch them grow in their faith and follow Jesus so passionately. Plus, we always have a lot of fun!"

~Michelle Stefun

"I love my community group because it's an opportunity to talk on a personal level with others. It's a great context in  which to get the guys' perspectives on stuff."

~Kennesha Dickson

"I like smaller groups because I'm able to hear people's hearts. Hearing about other people's walks reminds me that I'm not alone in mine. This builds me up and edifies me throughout the week."

~Laura Welch

"Definitely the people and the fellowship. I love getting together every week with the people in my group. Although I haven't known most of them for very long I have experienced the joy of getting to know them better and having real fellowship. Everyone seems eager to share and to pray for one another and get beyond the surface. Not to mention lots of laughter! We were nearly poisoned by Ben's dirty popcorn last week; it was pretty intense!"

~Sarah Leidner

"I love meeting with my community group because we encourage each other in the Lord and have great discussions about his word. I always leave feeling refreshed and encouraged to follow harder after Jesus."

~Ben Zipf

"I really enjoy having Christian friends to share my experiences with. The group has helped me to focus on God and his will for my life and marriage. I am grateful for the fellowship!"
