Words from "Young Adult" Community Group

"There is a new Bible study group starting this week, creatively entitled the "Young Adults Group." We are really excited about the new group - many of us don't know each other well yet, so it is a great time to join. At this point, it looks like we have a nice mix of singles and couples, and a nice variety of ages among "young adults" (by the way, if you think of yourself as a "young adult" then, as far as we're concerned, you are!). We hope this group can be a source of fellowship for many of the young adults in our midst who are either working, grad students, professional students, or others who are no longer part of "student ministries" or who would like a church-based group in addition to their student ministry participation.

For those interested, our first meeting is (and future weekly meetings will be) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. We meet at Rob and Sarah Hamersma's house, 2631 NW 33rd Place (feel free to call us at 352-376-1471 if you need directions) . We'll have dessert first, with some time for chatting and meeting people, and then we'll do our first study. We are going to be studying Nehemiah, using J.I. Packer's book "A Passion for Faithfulness." Since we don't have the books yet, we are going to start out this week by having a discussion of the general story and context of Nehemiah. We've asked people to read or skim the book of Nehemiah so that you can assemble any questions or thoughts that might be helpful in the discussion. We look forward to seeing many of you there!"
