Helpful: Small groups

Our church just started another round of small groups. I hadn't been a part of one for a long time due to the campaign work last year, so I'm excited to try it again. This group is a men's group, which should be fun. Reminds me of old days, our church when I was a kid had a men's group; all I saw them do was make pancakes and go on mission trips to Appalachia. I'm looking for more than that out of my friendships, although more pancakes would be fine.
