Missional Community

Last weekend we held Sharefest at the church, it is my favorite day of the year. This is a day when we get all of our small groups out in the community serving with, "no strings attached." It is always a great day to help people and see new stories begin to develop by what happens on that day. What has really surprised us is the community in builds inside our groups. It is a principle that we are trying to build upon ...Focus on the mission, you will get Community. When we focus on community, good things happen, but we don't get mission. This shouldn't surprise us, as Jesus tells us if we really want to find true life, than give ours away. When we stay on mission, God stays very interested in community, when we get off mission, God gets uninterested and over time so do those who are in that community.
