God is moving in our small groups!

Wow, God did some great stuff in our small groups on Sunday night.

Here are two emails I got from leaders:

Our group (16 people) met tonight. Again, very good discussion.
There was a universal appreciation for Dan and how he presented the material. We heard (and made) comments like: "that was an ah-ha moment ..."; "...the examples/stories were very pertinent..." and "I never thought of it (prayer) that way."

I also got this email today:

Great stuff!
