THURSDAY NIGHT GATHERINGS THiS semester
january 2025: prayer: our first response
Prayer is a significant aspect in the daily life of the Christian. It is the way in which we can communicate directly with our Creator God, identify His will in our lives, and intercede for others around us. Conversing with God should not be a last resort; it should be our first response to blessings and struggles, whether in our own lives, on behalf of close friends and family, or even for those in power that might be in direct opposition to what we believe to be true. As we enter the new year, let us begin 2025 learning how to prioritize prayer.

february 2025: greater love
Dating. Marriage. Sex. These are the things that our culture points to when talking about true love. Jesus, however, says this: “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). During the month where romantic love is highly emphasized, let’s talk instead about what Jesus teaches is the highest expression of human love: spiritual friendship.

February 27: Pastor Josh Hufemia (UCM Annual General Meeting and Vision Night)
March 2025: on earth as it is in heaven
As Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray, he taught them to pray for God’s Kingdom to Come on Earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10). Throughout the New Testament, we see story after story and instruction after instruction demonstrating diversity in the Kingdom of God. At UBCO, we have the opportunity to be the people God uses to bring heaven to earth. But what would that look like practically? This month, let’s talk about how we can participate in this invitation to be a part of God’s Kingdom on earth.
