YOUNG ADULTS MINISTRY (18-25 year-olds) SUMMER BIBLE STUDY
“A Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God” – Facilitated by Blake Paulson
Where: Max & Sidney Salvevold’s (10030 17th Avenue SE, Becker)
When: Monday evenings from 8:00 to 9:00 pm * Starting June 19th and ending July 31
Cost: $10 for the book (reading not required, but available for deeper study)

High school graduates, ELEVATE alumni, and/or young adults living in the area…let’s connect for a dive into questions that surround healthy and helpful ways to grow in our relationship with the LORD and discover ways we can help others experience a thriving relationship with Him! We have set aside six Monday nights (we won’t meet on July 3) to dig into the study “A Contrarian’s Guide to Knowing God.” Feel free to show up and take in the video sessions and discussion, or dig a little deeper by reading the corresponding chapters in the book. Either way, we look forward to compelling discussions, meaningful connections, and a little fun along the way!

Let Pastor Chris (763.244.4957) know if you plan to attend, and if you’d like the book let him know by June 11 so he can get it ordered!
