Young Adult Brunch - Our Young Adults' Brunch meets on the last

our study time is currently looking at the Book of Acts. Join us at

Presently the group is studying Irenaeus of Lyons' "On the Apostolic
Preaching." If you want more information on dates, times, or joining
this group of deep thinkers, reach out to Zach Malavolti at

the month schedule. Volunteers for either date need to commit to
arrive at 8 a.m. and stay until 10:30 a.m. Afterward, anyone who
