"When I moved back to this area in 2007, I was very much still in the infancy stage of my walk with Christ. What a vulnerable time that can be! How easily a new Christian can be mislead by society, friends, television- the devil himself wants to see a new Christian fail, so the obstacles are many. I am incredibly thankful that God brought me to Waters Edge Church, where Groups and Volunteering are so greatly valued and talked about frequently. I joined a Group & Volunteer team right away. I believe this helped cement my walk with the Lord. I was accepted into a group of people in various stages of their walk. I just grew and blossomed in these Groups. I have been in a Group ever since and have made life long friendships. Friends I can truly count on. Groups were there when I met my future husband, our engagement, wedding, infertility, 3 pregnancies, births, helped us move, painted our house, attended funerals of our grandparents, and everything in between. I couldn't be more thankful for Groups. They have added SO much to my life, my marriage, & most importantly, my walk with Christ. So many years later, I am able to support, mentor, & shepherd new Christians all because the same was done for me." -Kavitha |
