We’ve been doing a young adults (18-35) Sunday School class almost since we started the young adults ministry here. But, we’ve been wanting to try something new for a while, so we’re taking it off campus–to Dunkin’ Donuts. Tomorrow morning will be the first trial of this, so we’ll know more in the morning. I’m excited.
Things I’m wondering…
How much will the change in location change the nature of what we we talk about?
How will the social dynamics change outside of “class”?
Will new people feel more or less comfortable coming?
Will it help young adults be consciously aware of how “church” integrates with their “real” lives?
Will I have to buy everyone breakfast tomorrow?
UPDATE: So far the experiment of having class off-site has been fun. People are much more talkative outside of a “classroom” setting–and it feels more “real” in some way. We also run into other people we know while off-site–but not many young adults. We haven’t had any new people so far, so I’ll have to update everyone on that later. The downside is that time constraints are defintely tighter and I am spending a lot more $ at Dunkin’ Donuts than I am used to spending…
