First Thursdays
First Thursday of the month, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
First Thursdays is a great way to connect with our community and maybe add to the local economy.
What is First Thursday? (from their website)
"On the First Thursday of each month, merchants of the historic, pedestrian-friendly South Congress Avenue keep their doors open until 10 pm (and later in some cases), playing host to an array of events and activities." It is basically a street party on South Congress where everyone is invited!
Here is a good guide to First Thursdays from American Chronicle Magazine.
Check out the First Thursdays website for official parking directions. And then contact your friends and head on down to SoCo.
Soma Group: South Congress
Every Thursday, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Soma Groups are our primary places of community, and where we share our lives with one another. They are not merely meetings, but rather a community of people who are in relationship with one another and who share parks, restaurants, neighborhoods and common struggles. They are where we learn from one another, serve one another, grow together and join together in renewing people we know and the local communities we live in.
While Soma Groups are not only meetings, they do gather together regularly for prayer, study, discipleship and fellowship. The South Congress Soma Group gathers each Thursday evening at 7pm at the Vanhorn house. Contact Jacob Vanhorn for more information and for directions.
