Last night my small group from church met together, as we do weekly. We spend time together, catch up on each other’s lives, study the Bible and pray.
I really appreciate this group and their commitment to coming together, as well as their commitment to serve. When I visited with Syrian Christians two weeks ago, I asked the group if they’d like to send something small to bless the Syrian believers living in a war zone. Two women from my group came back with over 50 button-down shirts and a selection of lotions and perfumes for the women.
Over Christmas, we came together to pack small kits for the local homeless shelter: socks and toothbrushes, granola bars and other items. One of the women organized it, and we all covered the costs together.
I enjoy these brothers and sisters and the community and fellowship they provide. But I realized last night that there is something missing from our group, and I thought back to my time worshipping with a small group of Arab believers in Jerusalem two years ago.
