What is the reason for connection groups in our Young Adult Ministry?
We say on the website: Community Life is "Real people really doing life together, getting into groups where they can talk about life and faith and where they have fun together! Don't just sit here - get connected." Having said that I want to challenge everyone within our Young Adult Ministry to become apart of a connection group at SWC. There are different ways on getting connected, Sunday morning, Monday night, or Thursday nights. Now I know everyone has different schedules and activities happening each week, but in order to be a community each need each other and that means coming together.
So my question to you is, when can you come together this spring for a connection group?

i'm trying to change my schedule for next semester i miss the connection groups a lot so whatever day or night or whatever we decide to do it i making it open
Josh - excellent thoughts.
J - great model.
One thing is for sure, there will never be a time of life when getting connected is easy or convienent. If there is anything I have learned in life, it is that building deep relationships requires sacrifice and time. I always though the next step of life would provide more of the time and require less of the sacrifice, but it never happens.
Debbie and I hope to start a group in Janaury. We already have 5 nights of every week committed to some church or family activity, but we know that we have to feed our relationships if we are going to grow deeper with others.
I get excited when I see students like J making it a priority in their scheduling. It encourages me, and challenges me to step up to the plate and do the same. Let's make "connecting to each other" more than just a mission statement. Let's make it an actual lifestyle!
I (Danie) will be available any night of the week as far as I know for Spring Semester. That should make it easier :-P I do like Monday nights though...but whatever works for everyone else.
I have really enjoyed having a Connection group during the week, but I will be honest in saying that it's been a bit disappointing in the low attendance some weeks. I guess that's part of life and being busy students. However, I look forward to next semester and the wonderful group dynamics. Are there any ideas for what we're going to be studying?
Actually now that I think about it, Monday nights there are a lot of connection group activities for the couples/spouses on campus, and so, maybe another night would work better?
Yes, Jason and Danie there are many events and activities on Monday nights for couples. I would like for us to think of a different night also, so if some of the other couples would like to come they could.
