On October 22, 2008, the Young Adult Ministries of Big Valley Grace spent the morning surveying local MJC attendees about random cultural curiosities.  There were quite a few opinions, especially related to the presidential election just around the corner.

The final question, which was our true goal, was “Who would you say is/was the most influential person in history?” The answers and discussion was surely interesting.  It was actually surprising to see people pause for such a long time fumbling for an answer.  Their supreme influence didn’t just roll of the tongue, that’s for sure.

For a little bit of fun reading, click here for the survey results.

This Sunday, November 2, at 4:30 pm will be having an initial interest meeting for the 2009 South African mission trip.  We will gather in the Welcome Center just outside the Worship Center.

If you are curious about the trip , then please be there and invite those you know might be interested as well.  I can guarantee this mission experience will be a life changing moment.

On Sunday October 26th after Catalyst, we will be having the scary Halloween edition of the Catalyst Film & Theology Night.  This month’s film is The Village, which starts Joaquin Phoenix, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, and Bryce Dallas Howard.  Expect large doses of creepiness and suspense, as well as a good discussion about the theology of this modern day fable.

We’ll be pressing play promptly at 8:30pm, so don’t be late.  For more info, check out the trailer, and find more details on Facebook.

Please note that the location has changed.  This month we will be meeting at Scott Elliott’s house.

Join us, Sunday, October 22 at 4:30 pm in the Conference Room of BVG (located in the main building as you exit towards the back parking lot) for a Small Groups Vision-Cast and Q & A moment.

Shawn will be sharing our hope for the formation of new groups, the encouragement strategy for leaders, as well as how to best sustain group life.

Please contact Kym at 209.571.4343 for details.  Hope to see you there!
