Our second group social was this past Friday July 9th at Erin and Parker’s house in Tustin. We had a fine smorgasbord of foods and simply enjoyed our time together as a team.
A few team mates shared their defining moments with the group as well. Defining moments are specific times in our lives when we have felt the presence of God. They are times when we have had to rely on God. They are times when the presence and reality of God are simply undeniable. It has been great hearing each others defining moments and really getting a sense of the work God is doing in our lives.
Although the socials are less structured than our typical trainings they are certainly just as important and critical to the growth of our team. While we are in South Africa, it will be the community developed at these socials that will hold us together when times are tough. It will be the relationships developed that will keep us glued together when our emotions have flared. Community is what will make us affective while in South Africa. As we share and eat together at socials we are not only feeding our bodies in a literal sense, but we are also feeding the growth of our team as a body of Christ.
