For the second week in a row we’ve been hit with a blast of winter weather on the day that our life group is supposed to meet. We had a fabulous first meeting 3 Wednesdays ago, and were set to hit the ground running last week when the snow began to fall. We canceled, and I hated canceling. So today, with a fresh coating of ice all over the Valley known as Happy, it looked pretty bleak for us meeting. The road out to Harvest Fields was cleared, but by nightfall it would likely be a sheet of ice. I found myself asking, “Does God have something against my life group?” I pondered that for a minute, and decided that we’re tougher than the weather, so we put plan B into action.
Plan B consists of me, 4 Sublett children, and an assortment of ice removing tools. We actually broke out a digging iron to chip through some of the 1.5″ thick ice. We were moments away from busting out a hair dryer and a blow torch! It took us hours, but we got the driveway all cleared and salted (against the promise of more wintry weather) and ready for the group to meet at our house.
Not everyone made the trek out tonight, but we still had 17 people in the living room. Colin led us in a couple of worship songs, and we talked about our plan to grow in our faith and practice. We have decided to form 3 smaller groups that will meet each week:
- Group 1 will read and discuss a chapter of Radical (David Platt) each week.
- Group 2 will discuss the most recent sermon in Dan/Calvary’s Greater Than sermon series.
- Group 3 will be using the Life Journal Bible reading plan as their content. pdf of the plan here.
