Transformations...

We had small group last night - it was very cool - we're doing this series on what it means to be a small group - actually its cooler than it sounds - especially when your group starts demonstrating the very thing you plan to cover that night before you even get to start. One of our couples is experiencing a family crisis with cancer so they weren't there having to be with their family member. So the group is like totally engaged on how we can help and is coming up with these great ideas. Made illustrations very easy to source later in the night. Another guy - has been struggling a bit - in fact a lot! He ended up getting in to a wee bit of drug kind of trouble - anyway the group has been supporting him through this period and he's now clean and sharing with one of his friends (aka The Pusher) about Christ - he's even inviting him this week. Awesome. Yet another guy, shared very deeply about how something the group did for him on his birthday touched him in a significant way - basically this guy is 34 and unmarried without a prospect in sight - he finds birthdays a really difficult time - so we told we wouldn't be celebrating how many years he had been alive but rather the fact that he was born at all - so we made him endure us telling him why we were glad he had been born! It was way cool - cooler still to hear his response a month or so on. We're just gonna love the despair out of him!

I think the series might be working just a bit...or somebody is...
