One of the groups I shepherd at Calvary Church is the Young Adult group.
This is a gathering of people ages 22 to 32. We meet weekly on Tuesday nights for
worship thru music, a Bible study + small group discussion.
I am hoping to brand the name for the Tuesday gathering, "Life Together" in 2010.
I want this name to communicate to those who attend and those who might attend what the goal/purpose of our Tuesday gatherings is. To live "Life Together" as believers in Jesus Christ. This means that we consistently care for one another by praying for each other, encouraging one another to grow in our devotion to Christ and holding each other accountable to living a Godly life. This means we eat together, play together, laugh together and even experience pain together. This is my dream for this group of people at Calvary Church. I really like what Rick Warren tweeted today about living life together:
Deeper levels of Fellowship:
1.Sharing together (shallowest)
2.Studying together
3.Serving together
4. Suffering together
Amen! I completely agree with you. That's a good hook for what this group represents.
ReplyDeleteHave you read the Bonhoeffer book with that title? Life Together

written about a week after our wedding...
ReplyDeleteAs we begin together,
life let
us remember
now the words that brought us here.
I can see them open and clear.
Words like:
I love you
Will you marry me?
and
I do
Because, love, within these
words are
promises and meanings
which hold value from earth to heaven
from now until the ending.
God has made these
promises to
us, and now we
have made them to each other
and so begins our life together.
Paul - You are a big part in this happening in 2010!
ReplyDeleteEric - I have "skimmed" Life Together, I should read this before I go and name our group after this title!
