Cheers! Where everyone knows your name....

At our church, we have small groups instead of Sunday School.  I absolutely love this concept!  I have enjoyed both of the small groups in which we have been involved.  A small group meeting inside someone's home is an intimate setting where everyone can let their guard down and really get to know the other individuals in their group.

Someone once said to me that they really don't have to let people in their class get to know them - they can only let them know the parts they want them to know.  I think this is exactly the opposite of what a small group environment should be.  A small group is a place where you feel free to be yourself and not have others judge you.  You get to live life together.  And - you also conduct Bible study.

Our church is a big church - but it has been such a blessing to be in a small group.  We can feel part of a smaller community within the church, and that has been great.
