The Perks of Being in Community

Tonight I was able to go around and start talking to some of the community groups at my church about my trip and the fundraiser dinner that I have coming up. It was so much fun and so so encouraging! I love getting to spend time with people from Crossing and just laughing and eating great food and hearing about what is going on in their life. The night started out with great bar-b-que at the Day group, followed by learning that some celebrity crushes of guys in the Bayless group included Anne Hathaway and Shania Twain, walking in on a hyped up game of Catch Phrase in the Loseto/Grorud group and then ending the night with guitar lessons from the Larson group. It's never a dull moment.

I was so encouragement and prayers that came from those groups tonight was just really uplifting and reminded me about the importance of community in the body of believers. If I was just trying to do this all on my own and not accepting the help of the the people that the Lord has put around me then I would be missing out on such a huge joy of being a believer. I am so so thankful that God has put me at Crossing Church in this season of my life. It is a blessing and I always feel challenged by my fellow brothers and sisters to be more like Christ and to love people more than I love my self.

So thank you again to everyone that I was able to talk to tonight and I hope that I will see you on April 11th at the Fundraiser Dinner.
