Building a church of small groups

This past week, I was talking to a friend outside the faith explaining to her my role at Crossroads and the process of building an infrastructure of small groups in the church to ensure that people are cared for. She yelled into the phone, "Vinnie, your job is so cool." I think it is cool, but it was nice to hear this from someone else.

When I went to pick up the book "Building a Church of Small Groups" from the Hopkinton Library, the Librarian commented, "That's an interesting theory." I responded, "Yeah, we getting ready to test that theory at our church in Framingham." "Good luck," she said sincerely.

Here is something to think about from the first pages of this book, "What would it look like if the local church got serious about Biblical community and making it accessible to everyone?" I guess it would look like what is going to happen at our church, because I hope our church "gets more and more serious about Biblical community and making it accessible to everyone."
