Celebrating Tiffany Groups '08

It is always good to count the fruit God has produced in the ministries we enjoy and reflect on the success He gives when we follow His plan. This year of small groups at Tiffany Fellowship Church has seen quite a few great successes that on the surface may seem fairly ordinary, but can often be hard to achieve in group life and are hurdles that are not negotiated well in many startup efforts. Here is a brief list of the outstanding achievements…

• Group Life – The formation of a group does not always equal community, but most if not all of our groups have created genuine relationships within each circle, equaling abundant life.

• Group Care – The community created has led to concern for one another and a desire to give support to each other within each group and beyond to our surrounding neighbors.

• Group Prayer – As relationships have developed and grown, our desire to seek God together has brought about many victories in our prayer journals and built faith in abundance.

• Group Growth – By sharing studies that challenge growth in our walk together, a few have been inspired to step out and lead groups of their own, negotiating the multiplication hurdle.

• Group Stability – Though some members have needed to move on, others in the group have remained dedicated to share and accept new relationships with others and grow once again.

A hearty Thank You goes out to all that have helped make our small groups great! These are but a few areas we have excelled in and you are invited to add your own group comments to this post and celebrate a year of small group life at Tiffany Fellowship Church.
