1993 was the YEAR of HLM's birth!!!
We did not have a BIG MEETING.
Of course because we were SMALL.
Yet this Smallness was in growing numbers already or about to be!!
Yes we had SMALL GROUPS here and there,
HERE and THERE!!!
By February 1993 we OPENED BIG TIME!!!
We invited many .... We had our FIRST BIG GROUP!! It was a PARTY 🎉
A SUNDAY PARTY 🎉
Where everyone seems to KNOW EVERYONE!!!
DUE to the emphasis on Small Groups.
Many Little Groups, and when they GATHER --- it becomes a BIG ONE indeed!
We had ONE GATHERING.
And many Scattering in Small Groups
--- Men, Women, Youth.
Week in and Week Out .... We made Disciples in High Relationship Groupings we called Cells and Congregations.
The RESULT: ALWAYS a Celebration just like Resurrection Sundays!!!
Wow.
------------
Why this ARTICLE in 2025?
To keep on with the GOAL of being a SMALL GROUP CHURCH and not a CHURCH with Small Groups as we are now INCREASINGLY GROWING in Large Mega Formats.
If not SHEPHERDED and BISHOPPED well --- we will fall into PAGAN CHRISTIANITY ⛑️
Lord Forbid !!!
The Difference .... Soon ....
