The Next Session of Home Group Begins

After taking a four week break for Christmas, our home group met again last night. We'll be starting a study on Colossians next week, but last night we just spent more time getting back into each others lives. We had an unusually small group last night - 7 out of our usual 14 - but I think it really helped facilitate our ability to be intimate with each other. Although I wouldn't kick anyone out of our group, I really do wish that we were smaller. Seven people seemed like a much better size for sharing deeply with each other about our joys, sorrows, and struggles.
