One of my favorite things to do after a worship service has always been to go out with friends and share a meal. Beginning on November 16, join with other young adults after The Vibe (this worship service begins at 10:45am in the Student Center) for lunch. We’ll meet immediately following the service in the cafe area in the back of the Student Center to choose a local restaurant - or two or three if there’s a lot of us! - for lunch. Don’t worry if you’ve never been to another Young Adult gathering; we’d love to have you join us. This will be a great time to discuss what we experienced in worship, to find out what’s going on in the Young Adult Ministry, and, most importantly, to meet new people and connect with each other. I look forward to “breaking bread” with you!

Our next Young Adult Get Together is this Saturday, October 25. We’ll meet at 5pm in Parking Lot C at the church (that’s the southeast lot near Roe Ave) to carpool to the Liberty Corn Maze. This is the “largest corn maze in Missouri” with several miles of paths throughout the 4 mazes in one. Weather Saturday should be cool and clear, but all the rain these next few days will make the maze pretty muddy - be sure to dress with that in mind!
We’ll spend about two hours navigating the maze, and then head to a restaurant for a late dinner. This will be a great way to enjoy the fall weather and connect with other young adults. See you there!
This year's maze design is a tribute to the KC Zoo.
David Kinnaman heads up the Barna Group - a research firm focused on spirituality. He and co-author Gabe Lyons studied young adults ages 16 to 29 and found that 40% of this age group were disaffected from the church. They went on to study this group of disaffected young adults in more depth, and their findings are captured in unChristian. If you are interested in reaching your friends and other young adults, this book is a must read.
We’ve invited David Kinnaman to speak on the book and the research behind it on Tuesday, September 23 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Student Center at Resurrection. He’ll speak for an hour, then answer questions for 30 minutes. Then we’ll invite you to sit around a table with other leaders, to discuss how we can more effectively reach out to this group.
