So no one showed up yesterday. I did get a request to meet one-on-one and another request to get a ride to church on Sunday... I'm so glad I can get the class' input tonight to see what I might be able to do better to enable the undergrads to worship God outside of the church.
So this is probably a terrible time to try to start up something new because it's the end of the semester between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I think that it's pretty important to encourage community for the sake of worshiping God and encouraging each other to grow closer to God. Thus, I just sent out this email for tonight:
Hey All!
Admittedly, I'm addicted to coffee.
So even though it's a crazy busy week, if you want to take a break, let's meet in the the new coffee house in BC tonight at 10pm to worship God by sharing stories about how God's working in our lives. I hear the coffee's pretty good and we can pretend that there's a fire in the fireplace. Feel free to bring anything that's been inspiring you be it a poem, song, picture, Bible verse, prayer request, etc. If this is a terrible time for people, we could move it to the weekend. Let me know what you think if you're interested.
Thanks! -Heather

So we'll see how it goes. Note: I purposely changed the "Come" to "Let's go".
