Changes

The way I see it, there are only two constants in this world-God and gravity. We lowly humans have managed to overcome the latter, but there’s no stopping God.

Last night at small group, Chris discussed the upcoming changes for Nexus and our weekly “small group” gathering. I think we are naturally resistant to change, as it comes with a touch of apprehension, stepping out of the comfort of familiarity, and a possibility of failure. But change is sometimes necessary. We could keep doing what we are doing, stay mediocre. Or we could step out in faith and hope and make a difference.

So over the next month, Nexus will transform from a weekly service at the church, to one monthly service and weekly gatherings of “house groups” to build what the church should really be-a community. Charlie will launch each series on the second Saturday of the month and the other three weeks will be spent focusing on the curriculum he writes for the house groups. Each group will meet at a church member’s home on designated night to better accommodate the busy schedules of college students. This means that our small group is no longer going to be small, but will open the doors to anyone who wants to attend.

I believe this could be awesome. Either it will be a catalyst for young adult ministry in our community, or it will fail. Regardless, we tried to spur growth and development. Onward Christian soldiers!
