Community Groups are informal, family-like gatherings that provide support at a variety of levels: emotional, physical, financial and spiritual. They provide consolation in times of trouble; they rally, for instance, to help out a group member moving from one home to another; they might help a group member who's in a financial pinch; they pray for one another; they learn together. Essentially, they do the things that are essential parts of healthy family life - in a day and age when good family is hard to come by.
