This is about a month old, but better late than never right?
At the end of October one of the small groups at Living Hope, comprised mainly of young adults, hosted a picnic at a local park as a way for other young adults to make some connections. It was a really fun afternoon consisting of game playing, chili eating, and much conversing.
The event was significant for at least two main reasons. First, it was a great example of the people of the church (as opposed to merely church staff) taking responsibility and initiative for ministering to others. Second, the event succeeded in a number of these new young adults committing to meet for a number of weeks to discuss issues of life and faith as well as to pray with and for one another with a view toward connecting to a more permanent small group.
I was really excited about the event and look forward to helping people and groups host lots more stuff like this in the future. Here’s a little slide show of great pictures that Brian took.
