The Connection

A Network Connecting Young Adults in our Church

 

We're just getting started! The Connection was organized in December 2005 as a ministry with young adults at UPC. Watch for new development as the group and opportunities grow.

Who is in The Connection?  We welcome

  • singles

  • college graduates

  • those starting a career

  • couples

  • parents of young children.

With The Connection we will be able to provide a variety of opportunities. Here is what we have going so far.

Sunday Morning

We have a group that meets in Sunday Mornings at 9:45.

 

Sunday Evenings

A fellowship group is meeting at 6:30 pm in Cafe Connection. This is group is currently on break.

 

Cafe Connection

One project is to make our meeting room into a more suitable space that will appeal to young adults. The room has received a fresh coat of paint. We're working on the next step.

 

Service Projects

We have adopted a small garden area that is part of the church landscaping.

We are also participating two church service projects: packing for our pantry and the Saturday soup lunch.

  • Future Plans. We plan to convert our meeting space into a cafe-type of atmosphere. This will allow for several small groups to meet at the same time. Or we could have workshops or small learning groups led by a facilitator. The room could  be set up to accommodate multimedia so that videos or a movie could be shown.
  • We plan to eventually have a lot of small groups that will meet frequently to meet the varying needs of those in our group. Here are a few of the types of groups that have been suggested.
  • Single parents group
  • Prayer group
  • Bible study fellowship
  • Book study
  • Service group
  • Moms group
  • Hiking
  • Sports related
  • Take turns cooking a meal

These are only some of the possibilities. All it takes to get started is someone who is willing to organize it.

See www.backpew.org for more information. Look for the forum called "The Connection."

Where to Find Us.

Cafe Connection is located in room 210. Take the long hallway going up the stairs from the Sanctuary. Pass the library and then go left. Down the hall, we're in the room to the left.
