At NewSpring Church we have small groups that meet in homes during the week. I have to say that I love my home group! We are a diverse group of people who have some interesting discussions about Jesus and life.
We've just had a big service week. On Tuesday night, we served at the Membership Class at NewSpring. We have a lot of fun meeting people who are relatively new to NewSpring and encouraging them to take their next steps with Jesus.
On Saturday we participated with 2 other home groups in a Hands on Greenville project. We went to Alexander Elementary School and planted a butterfly garden; cleaned, weeded and mulched the front flower beds; and spread mulch on the playgrounds. The Assistant Principal at the school told us they have 391 students and all but 18 receive free or reduced price lunches. The parents do what they can but just don't have the money to take care of projects that can not be done with school funds during these tight monetary times.
I'm thankful to be part of a group that likes to give back to the church and the community! The Bible says that faith without works is dead. We don't do projects to get God's love but do them out of a heart of love that comes because we already know God's love.
