2011 Annual Report

20s & 30s Ministry, A Ministry to Young Adults 20.30 Adult Ministry Group [20.30 AMG] is a ministry for people in their 20s and 30s. This group helps bring people to a deeper experience and knowledge of God through Jesus Christ by spiritual, educational, and social events. The 2011 topics for the Sunday school series were “Spiritual Aerobics” and “The Lord’s Prayer: Revisited.”

Spiritual Aerobics looked at spiritual practices such as centering prayer, pilgrimage, prayer beads, icons, and other techniques used to deepen an individual’s connection with God. The Lord’s Prayer series included a seminary professor leading a class discussion using the online videoconferencing program, Skype.

The Rev. Jemonde Taylor 20.30 AMG had several social events: Super Bowl One bowling event, Caribbean Mardi Gras celebration with Steel Drum Band, Meet and Meat II BBQ, Happy Hour at Blue Mesa, and the Christmas Social.

The group started monthly weeknight home Communion services, giving members the opportunity to worship within the workweek. The Evening Prayer and Communion service at White Rock Lake at sunset was a spiritually powerful experience.

AlterKnit continues as a strong ministry of prayer, study, and knitting. This group meets weekly, sharing a passion for knitting. The leader guides knitters in knitting and spiritual discussions based on books.

The evenings end with the worship service of Compline in the chapel.

I look forward to building this important Saint Michael ministry.

—The Reverend Jemonde Taylor, Director of 20s and 30s Ministry
