English Adults Track Program

EA Social - Dec 28 @2:30-4:00pm

Jesus had His twelve disciples with diverse backgrounds and ages, doing life together. This will be an afternoon session for ALL ages in the English Adults track to grow in community and interact together through a variety of activities - think large group games and intentional times of sharing. Bring your excitement, your friends and a pair of running shoes to have some fun!

Afternoon Session - Dec 29 @2:30-4:00pm (Speaker: Bonnie Ho)

We know that we live in a broken world. We face and experience sin and its consequences every day in our families, relationships, workplaces, and society. This brokenness can weigh heavily on our hearts. But Jesus knows the grief we face. He Himself entered into this grief with us when He was on this earth. Jesus does not ask us to brush away this heaviness in our hearts, nor the sadness we feel. We are allowed to grieve over the brokenness we go through every day, and to lament. Lament is where we see sin as God does, facing it and its consequences honestly, while also coming face to face with Jesus, acknowledging that even in our heartbreak, He is present, He is in control, and in our darkness, He is the light. In this workshop, we will look at Scripture to see what lament is, how people in the Old and New Testaments lamented, and how we can lament today. We will also practice this spiritual discipline of lament together.

Prayer Encounter - Dec 30 @2:30-4:30pm

Prayer is our direct channel to communicate and connect us relationally to God. This is an afternoon session to know God, and draw close to Him. A time to praise Him corporately with others, hear from Him, and most importantly, pray together and abide in His presence filled with His unfailing love. Bring your friends, and let us come to love Jesus and receive His love. Whatever it is that you are carrying on your heart, bring them to the feet of Jesus as we meet Him.

Join us in worship and prayer together as one —gathering to seek the face of Jesus.

Small Group - Dec 28-30 @8:30-9:30pm

Small group time is a place where we slow down, reflect on what we're learning at the conference, and pray together. It's a space where we can ask questions, hear from others, and discover how God might be speaking to us personally. Each group is led by a facilitator who will guide the conversation based on the discussion questions and main sessions.

We believed that God uses community to help us grow. Through small group, you will have a chance to build friendships, be encouraged, and be reminded that you are not alone in this journey of faith!

Lounge Night - Dec 28-30 @9:30-11:30pm

Join us at the lounge to hang out, to meet and connect with old and new friends from different churches! Grab a board game to play or have a worship jam session - we'll have board games on site, but feel free to bring your own!

Worship Night & Evening Talk - Dec 30 @7:00-9:30pm

Last night of conference, it'll be a combination of worship night and evening talk into one big session, with prayer and small group time. It will be an extended and intimate time and space of just being at the feet of Jesus together in worship, the Word, and prayer.

Join us as we seek His face, encounter His holy presence, and love on Him together.
