The Metro D.C. Synod is working with both young adults and congregations to redefine negative perceptions of Christian community, which have become so common in our time.
DCyoungadults is an online forum dedicated to thinking about how we do church in the Metropolitan Washington D.C. area. This discussion started because of the repeated interaction many of us have had with people who no longer find the Church relevant.
As people who believe that the message of Jesus Christ is relevant, we want to join you in discussing what it means for the Church to be real about life, real about God. Join the conversation at: www.dcyoungadults.org.
The Young Adult Working Group (YAWG) is committed to working with congregations who are seeking to both connect with and share the gospel with young adults. Read YAWG’s Proposal for a 2010 Synod Theme (posted 1/8/10) including great ideas for the coming year.
2010 – Year of the Young Adult
The Metro D.C. Synod Council has welcomed a theme in 2010, declaring it the “Year of the Young Adult.” YAWG will work with metro D.C. congregations to help them connect with the young adults living, working and worshipping in their communities.
A graphic to help our year’s focus was created by Mary Delany of Prince of Peace Lutheran, Gaithersburg. It incorporates symbols relating to some of the most integral parts of young adults’ lives, such as: the question mark (posing questions about faith and future), a handshake (employment issues), heart (relationship focus) and Facebook symbol (importance of social networking)
