ROC Millennial Singles Life Group

This is our big annual Christmas party with our sister bible study/book club groups, Crossroads and Koinonia, on Saturday, December 13. It will be a pot-luck dinner at 6 PM in Vernon Hills.

Rather than finding something in the basement to give away, for our White Elephant gift exchange, let's set a bought gift price of $15 (not too expensive, yet enough to be creative). As always, the White Elephant gift exchange is purely optional.

For fun, we will also have an Ugly Sweater contest. Prizes await those with the ugliest and most creative attire.

Don't be a stranger! Please DM us to get location details.

In The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas challenges us to think beyond finding a "soul mate" and to look for a "sole mate"--someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey. Turning conventional dating wisdom upside-down, Thomas asks: What if there’s no such thing as "the one"--there's something even better in God's plan? What if being "in love" isn't a good enough reason to get married? What if God designed marriage to make us holy rather than happy?

The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around a shared spiritual mission--and making a marriage with eternity at its heart. Join us next Thursday as our ROC Millennials singles group explores how dating should be a spiritual journey rather than an emotional pursuit, as we challenge cultural assumptions about romance with biblical discernment.
