Young Adults Ministry
Want to get on the e-mail list to receive information about events and Sunday school?
Want to talk to someone about young adults ministry at Sandia?
Contact
Matt Pooley, 856-5040 x122
Find us on Facebook, too!
The young adult ministry at Sandia Pres creates connections
that allow us to experience God and to invite others into that experience, too.
This ministry and community provides young adults the chance to pursue God in the company of friends.
Who are young adults?
Young adults are those of us in that early-adult stage of establishing lives of independence
(post-college, not under parents’ roof anymore, single, marriage, divorced, etc.).
We’re in our 20s and 30s and are all navigating one set of adult transitions or another
(career changes, moves, early parenting, etc.).
If this description strikes a chord with you in some way, come join us!

Ongoing Fellowship Opportunities
Sunday Morning Class
YA Sunday School, 9:30 a.m. in Room 221 ("The Study"): Just Walk Across the Room
We all have our "comfort circles." But what if ten simple footsteps across a room to greet someone could change their life and your life forever? Have you ever wondered, “where does God want me to walk?” What an odd question! It might just change the way we walk! Come watch and discuss this fascinating video series.
And regardless of the class topic, Sunday school has been a great place to connect and meet new young adults, so come join us!
Coming This Fall–-NEW Sunday School Topic: The Prodigal God (starting August 29).
Building Friendship -- Small Groups
I don't know about you, but my schedule is pretty full. Pretty specific. Pretty hard to change. Yet I'm always eager for time with friends. At Sandia Pres, "covenant" small groups are groups of friends that meet regularly, basically for deepening friendships and learning more about God together. I (Matt) can help you get one started very easily, so if you crave this kind of consistent friendship, contact Matt!

Quote of the Week
5Be wise in the way you act toward those without; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. – Colossians 4:5-6
What would it look like to literally “season” every conversation in our week with grace – radical, unconditional, even-when-s/he-doesn’t-deserve-my-kindness love and grace? A dash here, a dash there… where do you need some seasoning in your interactions? I sure know where I need it in mine…! - Matt

YA Summer Calendar
- Every Sunday – YA Sunday School: Just Walk Across the Room.
- Friday, July 30-Sunday, August 1 – Camping Trip
At Cedro Peak Campgrounds in the East Mountains
This is a church-wide camping trip, but we already have at least five young adults going… so come with us and take advantage of a mid-summer camping opportunity! E-mail Matt for info or to sign up. $15/family unit.
- Every Friday in August, 6pm – Dinner @ the Pooleys’
Every Friday in August, Matt & Diana are making you dinner! In case you hadn’t heard, by August, they’ll have moved into their new house!. Let them cook you dinner on Friday night, and come relax at the end of the week. All are invited!
- Tuesday, August 24, 6:15pm – Alpha: A Place to Ask Questions and Find Friends.
- Hey Moms! Something to Consider…
A few young moms are working on some daytime opportunities for young moms to connect, have fun, and grow and go through life together. Details still to come. But if you’d be interested in a weekly daytime gathering and easy place to meet other moms, let Matt know! The idea right now is a mid-morning weekly meet-up, alternating weekly between Bible study and fun activities for mom-and-kid(s) together (ex. – zoo, park, etc.).
A Good Read
Everywhere we look, we have questions and curiosities about the biggest questions of life. Matt's office is FULL of books that might intrigue you. Consider this your invitation to come raid Matt's “library” anytime you want a good read!
Finding Other YAs on Sunday Morning
Ever walk into church on Sunday AM and wonder where all the young adults are? Or maybe you don’t attend services at all… Well, would it help to know that you can find us YAs in the same place every week?
Diana and Matt typically attend the 10:45 service and often sit with other YA friends. If you would enjoy worship more by sitting with peers and friends, here’s where they’ll be at 10:45 every week: when you enter the sanctuary, they’ll be in the far back-right wing.
(NOTE: The purpose of this is NOT to form a clique, but simply to provide a visible, consistent connection point with YAs at Sunday morning worship.)

Dinner for a UNM Christian College Group:
Do you love to cook? Some hungry students could really use your help: Presbyterian Student Fellowship (PSF) is a college group at UNM that meets weekly for Bible study and the kind of friendship that so many students need on a disparate commuter campus like UNM. SPC supports them by cooking and delivering dinner one Tuesday per month. Would you be interested in cooking or bringing something simple (pizza, burritos, etc.) as a gift to them? Pick a Tuesday: 7/20, 8/17, 9/21, and let David Casson know.
Help Matt Greet Young Adults on SPC’S Fall Kick-Off Sunday!
Want to help Matt make YA known around church loud and clear? On Sunday, August 22, Sandia Pres will have a fall kick-off, including tables representing all the ministries of our church. We need your welcoming face to greet young adults stopping by the table – let Matt know if you can help!
Meals for New Parents
Interested in making a meal for new parents? What a practical and simple gift that is so helpful! Basic recipes available to make it even easier. Let Matt know if you are interested.
