Cross Walkers Young-ish Adult Dinner
Tues. Feb. 18 @ 6:30

Do you feel God’s presence in your life? This month we’re talking about Proximity and finding your community right where you are. We’ll explore how God dwells in our own lives … and times when it’s challenging to believe he is dwelling within us.

No required reading, but if you want a bit of context ahead of time, check this out:

  • Genesis 3:8 (What was God’s desire for Adam & Eve?)
  • Exodus 25:8-9 (What was the purpose of the Tabernacle?)
  • Jeremiah 31:31-34 (What were God’s desires and promise of reconciliation?)
  • Matthew 1:22-23 (What were God’s desires through Christ?)
  • 1 Corinthians 3:16 (For those who trust Immanuel, what does God promise?)
  • Ephesians 2:22 (How are we being built?)
Thanks to all who came last month! An extra special thanks to the Klines at 313 N Hesperides Street for hosting and cooking us a delicious meal … as always!
