Week of January 23

Here’s what SOMA’s up to:
 

WORSHIP GATHERING

January 29th: Worship Gathering and Fellowship Lunch 
We will meet at our regular time of 11:15am at The Well (1401 6th Ave) to share conversation, pray and sing together. Kathy Kinzer-Downs will be back with us to share the word. After the service, we will have a light fellowship meal.

10:00am – Christian Community Development class – Week 1

Starting January 29th, we’ll be holding a 6-week Sunday morning class on the principles of Christian Community Development.  God has used CCD to shape SOMA’s culture for the last 5 years, and this is a chance to learn about it in more detail.  We’ll meet at 10am in the basement, no sign up needed.  Visit www.ccda.org to learn more about the Christian Community Development Association.

6:00pm  – CCO Fellowship

Each Sunday we will have a time for college students to hang out together from 6:00pm – 7:30pm. Each week will look different so join the CCO at The Well Facebook group to stay informed! 

*Note the time change! This week we will be meeting in The Cave at Geneva (lowest level of the Student Center)
