At Woodland, we want to learn to love together because we know there’s no such thing as following Jesus solo. Our Gathering Groups are one place where people can connect to do Kingdom life in community.
Tim and Nancy, in Minnesota, and Andrew and Cathy, in Wales, have been in the same Gathering Group for a couple of years. Recently they were able to make their first off-screen connection when Tim and Nancy took a trip to Scotland and the couples met up in Glasgow.
Tim and Nancy said, “Meeting in person felt surprisingly different from meeting online—you never really know how tall or short someone is until you’re face-to-face. Once we sat down for dinner, though, it felt more like the Zoom calls we were used to. We had a lovely, peaceful time exploring the Isle of Cumbrae and getting to know each other better. We really are ‘better together.’”
Andrew and Cathy shared, “The bond that we had forged online in our Gathering Group made it feel natural and easy to pick up our friendship in person. It was so good to spend time together getting to know each other better. It was like being a Woodland Hills family.”
We love hearing these stories because you are showing us what it looks like to practice a Jesus-looking life in community, even when nearly 4,000 miles apart!
If you are looking for connection, we invite you to join a Gathering Group, too! You can find more information here.
