GroupLink at church
Our church, Buckhead Church, loves for people to come to church on Sunday but they are uber focused on small groups. Todd and I have several friends that have been in a group for a couple of years and really loved it. For those that don't know, the idea is that they want you to be put together with folks experiencing your same walk of life. Singles with singles, married no kids with married no kids, you get the picture...They also want you in the same basic geographical area. Someone who lives in East Cobb would not be in a group with someone who lives in Decatur. You meet once a week and fellowship and study and learn and grow together through Christ. Well, Friday the 30th was "Group Link." As Michelle and Eric explained to us, it's like speed dating. You show up at church, head to your geographical banner (Buckhead, Decatur, Marietta, etc.) and start "dating". It's a crazy experience! Todd and I met a couple who are Mtn. bikers and the rest was history. They already had a couple in their group and we found another along the way. They like to have 6-7 couples in a group and we only have 4. We are trying to gather another couple more couples if anyone's interested!! (By the way, this is not just for folks who go to our church! You can go to any church...you just have to have a desire to make spiritual "progress" and chart a course forward in your relationship with God.) The group explores the spiritual components of relationships, the importance of community and how we can encourage each other to stay on course.
We had our first "social" on Monday evening to hang out and break bread and get to know each other a little more. It was fun and I think we have a great group of folks! If anyone's interested in joining in on the fun...let me know!!
