This is America, where we are free to actually arrange our own gatherings, our own dinners. It’s a constitutional right. You can do it. There’s opportunity for you to connect with folks during the week, on your own. But whatever form it takes there’s just no way to effectively love one another or any of the other one another’s, in theory, or in general, you know from a distance. So maybe for you renewal or renovation or tearing out the carpet in this area of one another for you might mean that you need to show up. That you need to make yourself known. Contact Ashley and let her know you’re interested in a small group. You need to commit to coming to church on Sunday, not just anonymously ducking in and out but expectantly. Praying to the Holy Spirit that he might direct you to someone who needs “one anothering” today. Maybe you need to commit to serving with our children or our youth or our impact or hospitality teams. A place where you can be on mission with others. Maybe you need to pick up the phone and grab dinner with someone you haven’t connected with in a while. Or maybe even with someone that you just met last week. You see it’s really easy to look at our interactions and say, “aaah, we’re just to shallow, it’s just too shallow. They need to go deeper,” and you’re right, they do. Here’s the thing, the only way to get to the deep end is through the shallow end. Standing outside the pool only ensures you’ll never get wet.
