Community

This week our church started a series on community. As we've been revving up for this series, I've been thinking quite extensively about community.
What will community look like in my life?
How will community change in my life?
How much work will community require of me and my family?
Will the work and effort of community be worth the payoff?
I mean lets be honest. That is the true question: Is it worth it? I won't really know until I take the plunge. Is it better to have indulged in community and be hurt than to never have community at all? Questions of the day.
