Small Group(s)

Well I heard about a new small group kicking off last night in the North Tyler/Lindale area. Apparently a good sized new group with several teenagers involved as well. Pretty exciting stuff as I know that at least 2 people that don't normally attend traditional church services were in attendance. This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking about this past Sunday. I would love for someone that was there to give us an update on what happen and the future plans of the group.

I also know of another group that started with just a couple of ladies and has already about doubled in size. Just a few friends getting together to talk and have fun. What a great concept. And the great thing is, can 4 Christian ladies get together and at some point not talk about their faith, God, Jesus, church, salvation, spiritual things? I submit that at some point in that conversation, faith will pour out, and the Spirit will be active!

Meanwhile, what is a small group anyway? What is it's function? What categorizes it as "small"? What does it take to keep it small enough so that the possibility for intimate communication exists at all times? Feedback please.
