What we’re about
Want to have fun with other Christian singles in the OC? While we don't discourage dating in the group or having a healthy interest in the opposite sex, this isn't a hookup group, although we may sometimes organize events to facilitate romantic connections. Please wait until meeting at an event before reaching out to people who are not organizing an event. Those who do this regularly may be removed from the group. We welcome all ages, although the majority of our members are in the age range of mid-30's to mid-50's, and some events will draw people of different age ranges over others.
If you're interested in getting a group together to do something we haven't planned, just let us know and we'll look into organizing it as an official event.

Are you ready to face your fears? Well, that’s our topic for tonight! Hope you can join us.
When was the last time you prayed for the One Life you choose last year? Why not invite him or her tonight? While newcomers are always welcome to participate, they are just as free to sit back and listen. Please feel free to forward our small group meeting details to those who might be interested. If you’re no longer interested in our small group, just let me know, and I’ll remove you from our email list.

GaryTONIGHT’S AGENDA
This Friday, we’ll meet from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, discussing last week’s message “Facing My Fear.” Check out the links below for the Talk It Over notes and videos of the full service and just the message portion.PREPARE FOR THE MEETING
Please note that you will need an authenticated Zoom account, and please set your name to your actual name, ideally appending the city you’re in—we have members from around the country and the world, so it helps to identify our neighbors. We do get some Zoom bombers occasionally, so if you don’t include your real name, you may not be permitted entry.Our small group time is meant to be a time of honest discussion about the topic for the evening, and we want everyone to have a chance to share, so please be ready to answer each question succinctly, and stay on the topic so there’s no need to interrupt anyone. Also, please be respectful and join on time so no one is distracted or has to play catch-up.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We usually chat for about the first half hour, 7:00 pm to 7:30 pm, to see how everyone has been doing, and get started shortly after that and go until around 9:00 pm and chat some more after that—we’ve gone as late as 11:00 some nights! It helps to keep your video on for visual cues to know if someone might be ready to share, but first timers can just hang back and soak it in.Please watch the message, either the full service or just the message-only video, and look over the Talk It Over notes. If you don’t have time to catch the video, that’s fine; often the discussion questions work well on their own. During our discussion time, if you’re a person who shares quite a bit, please allow for others time to share as well. If you’re one who doesn’t share that much, please feel free to jump in; we’d love your thoughts.
WHO WE ARE
Just a reminder to those who have been invited by others: this is a small group Bible study for Christians or those on the path to becoming a Christian, studying God’s word together, primarily for singles in their 30’s to 50’s.Since we’re a geographically diverse group, please connect with those of us in your area or take advantage of the activities on a few of my meetup groups:
