The Coming Fall...

Another September is upon us. As the weather cools, many find life heating up as they head off to another year of school, some heading to college or university for the first time. It is an exciting time of new beginnings. With new beginnings, a flood of questions rumble deep within:

What will the new year bring? Will I know anyone, or will I end up being alone? Will I like my classes? Will I have enough money to get by? Will I get along with my roommate? Will what I learn here really prepare me for life beyond the classroom? Do I have what it takes? Will I find love?

For others, the questions don’t revolve around the new semester; they are buckling down for another long year of the day-in, day-out working world. They look ahead toward some unseen destination, hoping it is still out there. They glance behind at the forgettable past, filled with unfulfilled hopes and dreams. With the monotony of the present, a flood of questions rumble deep within:

What will the new year bring? Will I connect with my coworkers, or will I be alone? Will I find enjoyment, satisfaction and fulfillment from my work? Will the money last until the next paycheck? Do my friends really care about me? Is there more to life than this? Am I making any difference at all? Will I ever find love?

Different circumstances, yet often similar questions resound within. Sometimes it is hard to find answers to these questions. The Young Adult community here at Bethany strives to provide an environment for people to develop an ever-deepening love for God and an ever-broadening love for others. In this, we look to walk this rugged path of life side by side, encouraging, challenging, lifting up and loving each other no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in.
If you are out of high school and looking to get connected to the YA Community here at Bethany, join us on Monday nights, 7 PM at the church as we dialogue to further discover what it means to follow Jesus in the crazy world we live in.

**New this Fall**
If you are interested in joining a small group of your peers, there are a few options for you. 1) A service group – these are groups that gather regularly to meet specific needs in the community. We rally around a cause for the purpose of seeing that cause through. 2) A study group – these are groups that gather regularly to go deeper. We long to know Jesus more. 3) A couples group –these are groups for young married couples who want to go deeper.
