Sunday Update (on Monday)

Well, I'm getting closer. It was another busy weekend for me, but maybe one of these days I'll get caught up.

Last week was a light week. Nothing much going on other than Sunday School. I wasn't able to attend, but I've heard that it was a good class with Woody teaching on Jesus 101. Come join us next Sunday for Presbyterian 101.

This week we have the second installment of the Workday Getaway Lunch. This month we will be meeting at Sawyer's in Downtown Lexington (325 West Main St) on Thursday March 18th at 11:30am. Lunch will be less than an hour so that everyone can get back to work on time.

Stay tuned for an update on the House Party for March. We are currently evaluating whether or not to move it back a week due to short notice and the fact that both Kyle and I may be unable to attend. We will have it, though. And it will be a fun Game Night at the Jernigan's House (4088 Kenesaw Dr). I will let you all know ASAP what the date is. Stay tuned!

Sunday Update (on Tuesday)

Sorry this is a bit late. The end of last week and the beginning of this week have been a little crazy!

Anyway, last week saw the first meeting of Pub Club at Two Key's Tavern. It went really well. We had a great turnout and there was a good mix of fellowship and discussion. It was deep and insightful, but still light and fun. I encourage everyone to come next month if they can. The next meeting will be Wednesday April 7th at 6:30pm and Kyle has told me the topic will be the Creation Stories--Our vs Theirs.

We also had a great Sunday School class this week. Kyle led us in a study of the Worship Service--it's different parts, what we like about them and what we don't. Turn out was light (probably due to a certain basketball game taking place at noon that day) but we had a good time. Come see us next Sunday in the Johnston Parlor at 9:15 for free coffee and learn about Jesus 101.

This week, there isn't much going on. But, as Lent winds down, be thinking of topics/classes you would like to see for Sunday School after Lent is over. Also, if you have any ideas of Fellowship events that we could do over the summer months, please let me know. Have a wonderful week!

Sunday Update

Happy Sunday!

What a difference a week makes, huh? Last Sunday it was 60 and sunny. This Sunday it was 30 and cloudy. Still, I hope everyone had a great week.

YAO had quite a bit going on this week with the House Party at Kyle & Sarah's on Saturday which was a lot of fun, despite the Cats losing. Unfortunately, I forgot to get my camera out, so there are no pictures, but the turnout was great and the food was even better. If you couldn't join us, don't worry, the next party is scheduled for Saturday March 20th at 6:30pm and the Jernigan's house. I'll have more details and an address soon.

We also had a very good showing for Sunday school this week (we even used up all of the extra chairs and had to go find more!). Woody led the class in a brief history of the church. We covered everything from Jesus to Martin Luther to the rise of denominations in just under an hour. Missed out? Join us next Sunday as Kyle leads us in Worship 101. The coffee is good and the company is even better!

This week is the inaugural Pub Club meeting at Two Key's Tavern. We will be discussing Spirituality vs Religion and how both of those concepts fit into our lives as young adults. Please join us this Wednesday, March 3rd, at 6:30pm to kick off what we hope becomes one of the best and most interesting events on the calendar.

Sunday Update

Hey guys, I hope you all had a chance to get out today and enjoy the fabulous weather. I know I did. It was a nice change from all the cold and snow we've been having.

This week was the start Lent, and it was also the start of several new programs here at Maxwell Street. Thursday was our first Workday Getaway Lunch and, although I was not able to make it, Kyle informed me that it went well. We had a small group, but a good group. I hope that more of you can join us as we go along. The next lunch will be Thursday March 18th at Sawyer's in downtown.

This morning was also the first Sunday of the YAO Sunday school class The 101s. The topic this morning was Maxwell Street 101 and we learned a little about the history of Maxwell Street before we went on to discuss where we thought the Church universal and Maxwell Street in specific are today and where we think they need to be. It was a fun way to start off the day, and I encourage all of you to join us next Sunday at 9:30am (there will be coffee to help you wake up) in the Johnston Parlor. I'm not sure what the next topic will be, but Kyle should be posting a schedule shortly.

After church today, we had a large group go to lunch at Puccini's for a little fellowship and a chance to find out what all we have planned for the YAOs through the spring. It was a great chance to meet some new people, have some good food, and get everyone connected to what is going on. If you couldn't join us for lunch, the schedule of events is all posted here on the blog as well as on the Google calendar (which you find a link to under the Young Adults Only page on www.maxpres.org).

Coming up this week:

The February House Party at Kyle & Sarah's House is this Saturday (Feb 27th) at 11:30am. Come ready to cheer on the Cats (or the Vols, if you must) and bring some food to share. Everyone is welcome, including kids!

And don't forget about Sunday School next Sunday. The 101s will continue, lead by Woody (for this week) and I'm sure Kyle will be letting us in on the topic soon.

Hope you all had a great week!
