What can I say, but to continually to encourage and cheer my fellow Cornerstone stewardship team on for the hard work thus far.
Joseph, Rachel, Dave, Chris, Alice, Chris, Gloria, Bryan, Sharon, and Esther.
Let's keep each other in prayer!
Every time we talk about small groups, I get pissed off. There is always an objectification of the members. "Love your small group!" and "Lets love these people!". There is a definite implication that we as leaders are to love these members just because they are a part of our small group.
Relationships go deeper than that. Especially since we are trying to model after the relationship that we have with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are to love them because they are our fellow brothers and sisters and they understand the meaning of True Love, not because it is an obligation.
Although it may seem easy to say now, relationships are hard to maintain especially if you fear the incompatibility between two persons. Just maintain a Christ like mindset no matter what. God sent Christ down knowing that the earth was full of weirdos (aka sinners eh eh). With that said, anything is possible with the Holy Spirit as our guide. Pray for your brothers and sisters who will have the pleasure of sharing their experiences/life/goals/walk with you in a small group environment!
Amen!
