The spirit of unity in our small group

"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4: 3

"..speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.  From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4: 15-16

William Booth, Founder of The Salvation Army said,

"It is good to possess this spirit of zeal, the spirit that can flame out and stir up everybody within your reach. It is good for you to go about commending and approving lives of risk and daring for the sake of souls and the sake of your command, but it is better still to show it them in your own life."

Every Friday, a group of us meet in the morning to share fellowship, prayer and the word. We help to build each other up. Some are more articulate or more vocal than others in expressing their opinions; some are shy and need some encouragement to speak up. In our diversity there is unity.

We have been hosting the small group in our home for about ten years now. We have been greatly blessed.
