Lois Home Group – July 2025

by Katie McMillan
 
The Lois Street Home Group meets regularly through the fall and spring semesters, two Sunday nights a month in the home of Tabor and Katie McMillan. The group also typically meets with the Kerrville West Home Group once a month for a group fellowship.
 
We are a group currently made up of 5 families, with children ranging in age from newborn to 6th grade. We met this spring with committed and accountable hearts, despite the challenges that come with meeting during the busiest time of the year. Our meetings are structured to provide time for fellowship, a shared meal that is prepared collectively, and designated time for a bible study. This semester we worked through John Mark Comer’s study on reading scripture. The scripture study is a part of a larger study that we have delved into multiple times over the last two years called, “Practicing the Way.”  “Practicing the Way” encourages readers to intentionally rearrange their lives to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did, creating a life that reflects the values and practices of the Way of Jesus. We worked individually and came together as a community to grow in our relationships with Christ through incorporating intentional and focused scripture reading times into our daily lives. Through fervent prayer, accountability, the support of Trinity Baptist Church, and dedication to growing our relationships with each other, we have developed a strong sense of family as a community of believers.
 
Our celebrations from this spring semester include the birth of Kevin and Madison Maldonado’s first child, John Henry, the elected deaconship of Tabor McMillan and James Tripp, involvement in TBCK’s production of the Victor by several of our members, and the baptisms of Karl Kearns, Katie and Walker McMillan. We are currently on break for the summer but are looking forward to resuming our Sunday meetings again this fall. If you are interested in meeting with the Lois Street small group, please reach out to Tabor or Katie McMillan.
