Our Community Group

We go to an awesome church, North Metro Church in Marietta, GA. We started going a few years ago and can truly say it has been such a blessing to our family. We went out on a limb and joined a community group 3 and 1/2 years ago. We were scared of the commitment at first... We met on Sunday nights every other week, joining a group of people that we did not know at all, and most of us had young children. Well, I can honestly say 3 and 1/2 years later that God's hand was over our group from the beginning. How cool for 8 random couples to come together and seek the Lord together and encourage one another along the way. We were also extremely blessed to have our leaders, Rick and Emily Everswick. He is on staff at our church with the missions. Those two hearts have the be purest and most non-assuming I have come across in my 30 years of life. And their children!!!! Oh my goodness, if you could bottle them and feed them to your kids you would!
Anyways, ( I know I am SO long winded!) all this to say we had our last meeting this past Sunday. It was incredible. We joined together to break bread and remember what Christ did for us and how much He has done IN us. We spent time talking and Rick read The Last Supper. We then we went around and said how everyone could pray for each other. At the end as we were taking communion and praying it started to pour down rain... it was as if God's mercy, grace, and presence was among us and it was AWESOME! I am so thankful for the commitment of each family in our group. It has blessed our lives being a part of theirs. We are excited about the next path that God will lead is down within our church. But I will be forever grateful for the foundation that was built and upon which the rock I stand!
