Last week's Friday Night FWD was a unique opportunity to connect with new friends in a casual atmosphere with great worship and real discussion about life and faith.This week we started by getting acquainted over coffee and snacks. We spent the first 15 minutes or so talking, sharing some Apples to Apples cards, and enjoying coffee, hot chocolate, and our trademark Tootsie Pops.
Then we continued with a great band — a little edgy and a little loud. Honestly, our musicians rocked! If you want to get involved next time let us know. There is room for different musicians and leaders each time.
Finally, we got into a great group discussion. Now at Encounter, we're just a group of people who are struggling and learning together what it means to follow Jesus, so that's what our first series of topics revolves around.
This week we focused on "The Main Thing: Why Jesus?" We talked about why Jesus came and discussed whether we really need a savior. We also looked at the birth of Jesus in Matthew 1:18-21 and while it wasn't really a Christmas discussion, it tied in nicely with the Advent season.
Our next gathering will be Friday, December 18 @ 7pm for A Friday Night FWD Family Christmas. Friday Night FWD then resumes every other week starting on January 15.
