Sunday at Restore we had our second Taste of Small Groups and it was completely over the top. This has become more of an extravaganza than an event. Each of our 15 adult small group put out displays with some of their best treats.
Of course the competition heated up a bit. What began as just some tables with treats and information has grown to full fledged decoration and explosion of food.
Our group had homemade cinnamon rolls and photos of all each of our group members "then" and we asked folks to guess who they were now. Other groups brought in bales of straw to decorate with a fall theme, and play houses to decorate with a
home theme, and an entire mexican dinner theme. And then the grillers took over with a fire pit outside making S'mores, a grill for hamburgers and then to top it off one group brought a grill made from the rear end of VW Bug.
The best part of the entire day was that somewhere between 25 and 40 people made connections to join a small group. We will see in the coming weeks the number that actually get grouped, but great conversations were happening all over the place.
