The ministry of young adults is
critical to our worldwide church—now and in the future.
|
Young adults
over 18 came to celebrate the theme “We Are Many, We Are One” Saturday, March 31,
and Sunday, April 1, at International Headquarters with their sisters and
brothers from around the world. The weekend included vibrant worship, in-depth classes,
dynamic speakers and instructors, and many opportunities for sharing cultures.

The entire gathering worshiped and explored together the concepts of “We Are Many” and “We Are Many
Becoming One.” Smaller groups shared in breakout sessions on topics
including sacraments; the meaning of Temple ministries; scripture and the
Community of Christ statement on scripture; financial planning; the Community of
Christ and war; relationship counseling; response to poverty; identity in an
international church; models of young adult ministry; ministry with non-dominant
cultures; interfaith dialogue; sex and sexuality; environmental stewardship, and
more.
A Cultural Café provided opportunities for socializing and
fellowship while enjoying popular coffees, teas, and snacks from many countries.
