Our First Large Group of the Semester!

Chris preaching to a full house for our first large group!

Tonight was our first large group of the semester as well as the first day of classes! Large group is usually one of the biggest events that RUF does each week in terms of logistics. There are many things to co-ordinate from printing sign up sheets and event fliers to setting up sound and organizing the worship team.

All in all I think it went really well! We had a great turn out tonight with a lot of new faces. It was awesome to see some of the Freshman connecting with each other and so encouraging to see how welcoming the upperclassmen were to the new students!

We had a great time worshiping the Lord and hearing from 1 John as Chris started this semester's sermon series on Gospel-driven relationships.

Our Large Group flier for this semester.

We finished out the evening with great conversation and some Rita's shaved ice!

Thank you so much to all of you who have been praying for us this week as Maryland starts school. God is doing exciting things on campus and we appreciate you being a part of it all! Please continue to pray for Logan and I as well as for the new students on campus.
