Community

The word "community" means so many different things. For us at Redeemer in 1972,it meant being connected to other people in living out a daily life of commitment to Jesus in each other. I heard a sermon at Sugarland Vineyard this past Sunday about community. They were encouraging everyone to be apart of some small group. I agree. Billy and I knew that without community we wouldn't be married. So we were compelled to get help from our wiser friends when we had any unresolveable disagreements. At first we needed this counseling weekly. We could call and get help at nights and weekends. Someone was always available. I want to say a special thank you to Andy Austin for all the hours that he gave us. As we started to be more healed and stronger, we loved giving this experience away to other couples and individuals who needed help. I love to hear from people who felt like Billy and I helped them the way we were helped.
