I love
social media. It allows you to stay
connected with people you care about even when they are far from you. Gone are the days of having to wait to see
pictures of those special moments. Today you can actually experience life with
your family and friends as it is taking place. The newest superstar on the
social media block is an photo sharing app called Instagram. If you haven't
heard of it, it's a quick and simple way to capture moments in your life and
post them on social media for others to see in an instant.
Every
Wednesday at Metro Life Church people of all ages come to experience Words with
Friends or WWF as we call it. And while
most churches experience a summer dip in attendance, our WWF nights continue to
attract growing numbers. Why? People
want to connect. People want to build
meaningful relationships. We thought it would be neat to show you a few
Instagrams of people who have plugged into WWF so that you could see the power
of connection in their lives.
Accepting
an invitation to attend church on Easter Sunday from their daughter's English
teacher, the Garmin family is now loving the relationships they are building at
WWF. Lillie has connected with the youth
at Hanging with Friends while her dad Bruce is being challenged "In the
Cage" with the Goodfellas and her mom Elisa is enjoying the Womanity group
"The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". The entire family has made MLC part of their
everyday life. Click here to see their
Instagram at our recent Family on the Fourth event.
Both
Aisha and Hazel have been attending MLC for over a year but their friendship
was formed in a WWF small group. As they put it, they have a relationship
where they can share their hopes and strifes, encourage and pray for each other
and most of all laugh while referring to each other as two coconuts brought
together by God's love and MLC. Today
both ladies each lead a small group in the powerful Breaking Free Bible study
at WWF. Click here to see their Instagram heading to a lunch with other MLC friends this
past Saturday.
Ramani
and his wife Grisel were dropping off their son at a local school in Doral when
they drove past and noticed MLC for the first time. They had been looking for a church near home
and decided to give it a try. Since that initial visit, the entire family has
plugged into WWF where Ramani is loving "In the Cage" and the small
group connections he is making. It was
recently discovered that Ramani is a professional Salsa instructor and this
Saturday he will be giving lessons for the second time immediately following
our service. Click here to see his
Instagram of the first time he shared his gift of salsa dancing at MLC.
Life's
not meant to be done alone and WWF provides a great opportunity to connect,
build relationships and even use your gifts for others to enjoy. We hope you join us tonight at 7 pm as we
make more Instagram memories to be shared with family and friends.

Awesome blog. As a leader of a small group, I can tell you that WWF on Wednesday nights is the place to be. Long-term relationships are constantly being formed and people are growing in God together.
Great blog Mory, I LOVE WWF! I have made so many real friends in my group, a couple of us single moms are thinking of creating a co-op to move in together! That's pretty deep relationship. It's very liberating to build these friendships with Jesus at the center. Never would have happened without WWF-or maybe it would have but it would have taken longer!
My daughter is going to HWF for the first time tonight but she's already connected with several of the INFUZ leaders and kids at the friday night services and Legacy Night. It has made her transition from NY a lot easier. I am so grateful for the leadership at MLC.
Fantastic blog from an AMAZING woman! Being part of the MLC family has been and continues to be an incredible journey for both myself and my husband Mike. I can truly say that I am so grateful and humbled by the amazing relationships that continue to be built and grown at MLC via WWF/small groups/ministries/events and so forth. Thank you MLC and the many folks that make up MLC for being a part of my life and for allowing me to be a part of yours. Looking forward to continued learning, growing, and impacting lives together.
Wonderful blog Mory! And I totally concur with you. I love MLC because of the wonderful people that make up MLC. MLC isn't 4 walls, it's a family, a group of individuals united by their love and search for God. Along the way, we get to connect with amazing people! Loving life at MLC! Loving Wed for WWF!
Great Blog M&M! You too are my coconut! Honored to be included in it! When Metro talks about their main objective is about Building Relationships! I can vouch for that! It's what we do and that's whats happened! I've met some Special People at Metro whom I have included in my intimate circle and besides Hazel I can count on them at the push of a button and on Wednesdays I look forward to meet with my lovely Gals in Breaking Free Study to talk about the great things the study is doing in our lives and our experiences! I tell you I'M BLESSED !!!!
Nice Mory!! WWF rocks... that's all there is to it. Real relationships are critical in life and if you want one you need to put the effort into cultivating one. WWF is a great place for that to happen. If you're reading this and you're in S.Fla... connect at Metro Life Church WWF Wednesdays at 7pm.
LOVE IT! Definitely agree that life connect be done alone. MLC has impacted my life in ways I cannot even start to explain. I know some of the best people in the WORLD b/c of MLC. Thankful that this church is really serving its purpose in the body of Christ: Connecting other to God & each other.
