It has been heart-wrenching to think of taking a break from this group, but due to the summer vacations, attendance has been low. Not just attendance, but communication with one another has been low. If I am honest, I am concerned that we have not really taken to heart what it means to be the Church. Doubts are creeping in about the spiritual state of the group since we have become so insular.
So, I am taking a break from the group to focus on discipling one or two young Christ-followers, to try and develop together on the go and in real life, away from the church building. It's a bit unnerving to shift from what I know into something that could fail miserably. But, isn't that faith?
