Wired About WIRED!

February, 2010

 

You might not yet know about WIRED! It's all about connecting young adults. In January and February we took our first steps toward reestablishing and reinforcing the connection between young adults, God's Word and God's people.

 

There are now two WIRED groups that have begun meeting regularly. Will Smith, our Director of Youth Ministries, is organizing and leading a group near our Columbus campus. They gather on Sunday afternoons for lunch and Bible discussions at various nearby restaurants. They frequently get together for some purely social outings too.

 

I’ve been leading the second WIRED group near OSU. We meet on Thursday nights at a Panera Bread by campus. We’ve been connecting with a small group of students and other men and women who are engaging in Bible discussions and connecting as friends. Other area pastors will assist me in leading these discussions, including our own Pastor Derrick.

 

I’m wired about WIRED! When I was a young adult, purposeful Christian ministry to people in my stage of life positively impacted some of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made. When we are in our late-teens and 20s we face decisions about career paths and spouses. We develop habits regarding our connection with God’s Word and God’s people that will influence us for years to come.

 

We can provide pivotal guidance that impacts a person life-long. These first steps of young adult ministry through Atonement Lutheran Church will hopefully lead us into a legacy of connecting young men and women to each other, to God’s Word, and to God’s people in the Church.

 

If you know of a young adult who could benefit from one of these groups, please get their information to me or to Will Smith so we can invite them to get connected – to God’s Word and to God’s people.
