multiplication...

we had our last small group tonight...i've been with the same small group for the past 3 years, and starting next week, we're multiplying (starting two new groups, for those of you not versed in mosaic vocabulary). we spent tonight remembering all the things we experienced as a group...some personal favorite highlights:

- meeting cal at the westside beach party and finding out that her small group meets at her place...1/4 of a mile away.

- being blown away by the fact that this seeker-friendly group was actually...seeker-friendly. and being so challenged by the discussions...learning so much from diverse experiences and viewpoints.

- dom, mike, and mengsu's baptisms, the day holley also told us she had committed her life to Christ...such an awesome day!

- praying for each other and witnessing God's timely and miraculous answers...

- countless activities...from going to watch chris' movies, to watching other people's movies, to eating brunch/lunch/dinner, to watching dom perform, to carving pumpkins, to folding paper, to service projects, to trips to santa barbara without me, to debates, to numerous birthday gatherings, to baptisms and staff presentations...

- amazing food...

just a few of the innumerable ways that God has blessed our fellowship...it's with definite sadness that we close this chapter, but we look forward to the amazing things He will do with our two new groups!
