A special thank you to our Community Group.

What is a community group? Well one might say its just a group of people from the same community who come together for a purpose. That assumption might be right, but there is so much more to a community group than just coming together. Our church at Morning Star has small home groups we call Community Groups. These groups come together for the purpose of sharing God's Word and fellowship. The Bible says that "Where two or more are gathered in His name, there is fellowship with one another." This is a paraphrase but the premise is simple. Our group comes together to discuss The Word. We talk about our Christian journey with the Lord and strive on how we can improve this journey and become closer to Jesus through the sermons from our Pastor and from asking thought provoking questions designed to make us think and examine our lives. We encourage each other and our fellowship is sweet. This past year Mike has had the privilege of leading our group. The group's dynamics may change from year to year but the focus stays the same. Tonight we had our end of the year potluck and as always, the food was delicious and the fellowship sweet. Mike and I want to thank each couple and person who has made our community group worthwhile. We enjoy each and every one of the people who make up our group. Each person is special and unique in their own way and our group wouldn't be the same without them. I truly believe God has placed the people in our group that should be there and we have a lot fun but we also get serious about our relationship with the Lord. I just wanted to be sure to thank everyone in our group. Because I experimented with a new recipe for our potluck and it was a hit, I thought I'd share the recipe here in this post. Orzo/terryaki chicken salad 2 cups of cooked orzo pasta 1 pound cup up terrayki chicken (cooked previously) 1/2 cup parmesean cheese - shredded 1/2 bottle of Cardini's Ceasar salad dressing 2 hard boiled eggs chopped Cook terrayki chicken (I use equal parts of brown sugar, soy sauce, plus 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon ginger) Place all together in a bowl and toss with the salad dressing. Cover with a little of the shredded cheese on top and chill until ready to serve. Serves a family of 4-6. Enjoy.
