    I especially like the idea of "discipleship for all ages" between the Sunday services, though I hope it will be in the form of a facilitated interactive discussion for the youth and adult groups. This was our experience in the Baptist church where Sunday school for all ages is a priority and a very successful discipleship and accountability tool.

    I know I'm jumping ahead...but with many youth in disciple ship classes on Wednesday night, who will the helpers be for the AWANA program?

    My guess is most leaders/helpers will be adults who have thier discipleship on Sunday mornings and some youth - older youth or young adults...

    I can't wait for young adult nights. I'm SO EXCITED! I hope that it grows huge enough and there is enough passion in it's leadership so that it will happen every week.

    is there any consideration for maybe a singles nights for young adults? it seems to be harder to find people my age(25) that i can talk to about the Lord. I haven't had what you could consider successful relationships, let alone a strong believer to share their Faith and convictions. Ps-thank u so much for praying and crying with me after the Christmas Eve service. I needed the help, and I'm positive MO is the place to get it through. i hope to talk to you again and update you.
