Hello and happy Thursday. : )


I hope your weeks are going well. No sunshine today, but we've been spoiled lately with the sun - like we live in San Diego! I'm grateful for how beautiful this fall has been. Well, we are very excited for some upcoming young adult events! They've been noted in the WhatsApp and we'll highlight them in this email as well.



First thing, we plan to have our breakfast this Sunday at 8:15am in the large youth room! (Last one in the large youth room as it currently sits!) Allyson Butz will be in charge of the breakfast with hopefully another helper as well. Thank you! For those newer to this email distribution, we have some regular young adult meals together that we would love for you to join for! That meal rotation is to often have a lunch after the 11am service on first Sunday's of the month and we often a breakfast on third Sundays at 8:15am. We hope for these shared meals to be a time of connection and encouragement.


If you plan to attend this Sunday's breakfast, please sing up below. (Also, please still join us if you don't sign up!)



As always, please feel free to send me notes, prayer requests, questions, etc.


In the Joy of our Savior,


Brie

 

FRIENDSGIVING!


We've scheduled our Friendsgiving meal for Sunday, Nov 22nd at 4:00pm! We would love to have you join us for this time of fellowship, good food and fun! I'll update you soon with our land for our location for the event.


If you think you'll join for Friendsgiving, please sign up for a dish to bring in our SignUpGenius form below. I will plan to bring the entrée. (Also, you can sign up if you'd like to plan a mixer type game!)

WINTER RETREAT!


We've also scheduled our Young Adult Winter Retreat! Our dates are February 19th-21st, 2027 and we have our same location booked again! (The photo here is of the living room of our cabin!) We will have a spiritual theme for the weekend, we will have worship together, meditations and learning, times of reflection and lots of shared meals and fellowship! Our cabin is on a wonderfully large plot of land, and there is also a hot tub and sauna! Closer to our time, we'll have participants scheduled to help with meals and other parts of the weekend. We currently have three young adults on the planning team. Please connect with me soon if you'd also like to be on that leadership team. We'll also soon start seeing who would like to help lead us in musical worship for the weekend!
