i don't know what your church may call it: small groups, mini-church...but at our church they're called care groups and this was ours. yes, i realize it's not very small, and that's why i said this was ours. our group is splitting in the fall and this picture was from our last meeting time together. our group was so large, but so connected. countless folks have expressed how amazed they are at how close our group was, despite the size. and i can't let another day go by without sharing this fantastic picture with all and saying how blessed we have been by this family of friends. words cannot express how cared for we have been by these people. when we first got involved two years ago, we had no idea the depth of friendship, fellowship, and accountability we would receive. though this split has been and will be hard (it hasn't sunk into my brain yet at all!), i know we are all exicted at the new things God has in store, and i know we will not give up meeting together. for all other care groups out there, don't get too excited...i'm sure we'll all still team up for care group races. lockhart care group unite!
and a new post will be up next week about the church camping trip. we are blessed to be going with quite a few couples and families from our care group. it's gonna be a blast! (not to mention elise's first camping trip! i think our "stuff" has doubled in quantity!)

Ha ha... I posted on my blog about our caregroup and then clicked over to yours only to see the same picture and read so many of the same things! We have been so blessed! Looking forward to sharing our first camping trip with our girls together!
Looks a lot like the fun crew of friends we have become a part of in the last two years at our church, too. Except it is called Life Group. You will survive the split. We had to do the same thing last year and divide into a third group. I know what you mean - Bittersweet for sure. :) :(
