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.

TONIGHT’S AGENDA
Each Friday we meet from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, discussing the message from last week. Check back for details before the meeting.PREPARE FOR THE MEETING
Please note that you will need an authenticated Zoom account. You do need to set your name to your actual name, and it helps to append the city you’re in—we have members from around the country and the world, so it helps to identify our neighbors. 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.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After introducing any newcomers, we will begin the Bible study shortly after 7:00 pm, finishing up around 8:30 pm. Please be respectful of others’ time and join on time so we can finish on time. As time allows, we will chat afterwards. It helps to keep your video on for visual cues to know if you’re ready to share, but first timers can just hang back and soak it in.Please watch the message 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, but sometimes they will require quite a bit of introspection—HOMEWORK, as I like to say! If you love to share a lot, please allow 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 to hear 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. Please understand that this isn’t a dating group, and we do welcome those who are in various stages of a relationship.GROUND RULES

Also, have a breakout class with Pastor Mark Presley, he will be speaking on The Book of James Chapter 2:14-26. Our Faith in Christ that gives us Eternal Life, is also a Living Faith that validates itself through our “doing” His deeds and good works. Who is this for? How does it apply to us?
