Small Group

Hey everyone,

Mark and I wanted to let all of you know that we're going to be taking a step back from small group for a couple of months. I've been trying really hard to make it work with school, my internship, and work, but my busy schedule is leaving me feeling super stressed out and exhausted. It's especially difficult this semester because I work on the same night as group and if clients are scheduled I have to work late. This makes it hard because I never know until the evening before what my schedule for the next day will be. I know this is inconvenient for planning for food/babysitting for the group as well. I thought we could make it work since Mark is always able to make group and I figured I could just head over when I was finished with work, but it's so difficult to be gone all day and then show up late to group and try to be focused and attentive, especially when I haven't seen Caleb and I'm really missing him too. So, as much as we're going to miss small group and all that we're gaining from it, we feel that the best decision for our family right now is to take a short break. I will be finishing up with school and graduating at the beginning of May and at that point we intend to recommit ourselves to the group. We appreciate your understanding and welcome your continued prayers as we tackle the next couple of months.

Mark, Lindsey, and Caleb
