"Rhythmic recurrence, throb of life, vitality, steady cycle, beat, vibration or undulation, emitted periodically in short bursts."
 

In particular we selected an organic word to reflect the primary role of this ministry to help young adults "grow together in Christ." We've focused a lot recently on the supreme importance of having a heart that hungers after God, as David's did. David wasn't a perfect man, by any means, but despite his flaws Scripture says he was "a man after God's own heart." God's blessing upon his life (and the lives of those who came after him), was as a result, profuse. That is our desire as a group, to be imperfect people "after God's own heart" who seek after and experience the profuse blessing of God. (Maybe we should acronymize our name as "Profuse Undulations of Loving, Spirited Enthusiasm!")

Our biweekly meetings will focus on nurturing that hunger for relationship and that spark of throbbing life. We will flesh this more out in coming months, particularly as we begin the process of creating SMART goals for knowing God, growing together in Christ, and going and serving South Hill and beyond. (And yes, we are already working on some cool logo ideas! I'm sure we can get Amanda to make us tee-shirts, as she is now the art queen.)

 

We are also praying about a theme Scripture verse right now for the group, and haven't settled on one yet, but a leading candidate is Prov. 4:23:

Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.
