Every Tuesday night brings me great joy. VFC's Community Groups always have provided with a great mid-week break from school and other parts of life to meet in small group settings and discuss the previous message, another aspect of Christian life, or just to hang out and have fellowship amongst the people of Hess or any of the other dorms.
With the goal of building community within the respective dorms on campus, VFC has successfully been able to gather in each of the UT dorms and built a communal presence in each residence hall that has spread God around.
Coming in last year at the very beginning, I have been a member of Hess's Community Group (http://www.facebook.com/pages/VFC-Hess-Community-Group/133540976699283). Living in one of the largest (if not the largest) of the dorms on campus, I have witnessed and have been a part of the growth of the community within Hess. It has been amazing seeing how God has worked within the students that have come to the weekly meetings. New kids have gotten plugged into VFC, the Word and message of God has been expressed and discussed, and returning member have created stronger bonds with each other.
Sitting in 3 Spoons tonight, enjoying my cup of Cake Batter and Vanilla-mixed frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles, the fellowship of Hess was omnipresent. In a time where our leaders were out, the rest of the Mission Team members stepped up and provided an atmosphere that, at least in my opinion, served those new people that came and enjoyed healthy, frozen goodness.
I've mentioned many times over how the adjustment from freshman to sophomore has impacted me within VFC specifically, but I know that I have grown through God. Being able to help run a time of fellowship with all the communication glitches and overall questions throughout this first semester has shown that He is faithful to our group and will serve and provide in times of need.
