YOUNG ADULT PILGRIMAGE TO NEW YORK CITY, June 20—27, 2009 The Diocese of Atlanta Young Adults are heading to New York City for a week of exploring our Episcopal history in the city. Highlights include a Tour of General Seminary, The Cathedral of St John the Divine, Ground Zero and St. Paul's Chapel. A major event will be our meeting with the Presiding Bishop on Tuesday while we are there, to discuss young adult ministries in the Episcopal Church. We will spend one day in mission work with The Momentum Project, preparing and serving food to those infected by HIV/AIDS in the inner city. There is also time for sight-seeing including Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. St. Bartholomew’s Pilgrims: Tiffany Hatfield DAYA Spiritual Advisor: The Rev.

Young Adult Programs Weekly dinners and discussions are a fun way for members in their 20's or 30's to join this growing young adult community. Home cooked dinner is offered Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m., with programs alternating each week: 2nd & 4th Sundays: Dinner in the Taylor Room at Church, as we dialogue about scripture and how God’s story and our stories intersect, followed by Compline (a meditative, candlelight night prayer) sung by the choir at 8:00 p.m. in the Nave. 3rd & 5th Sundays: Dinner at Amerson House (at the far end of the church parking lot), exploring the Christian practice of Discernment & Group Spiritual Direction, with meditative exercises & conversations designed to help each other seek & find divine guidance and human support in the big and small decisions of our lives. Followed by a contemplative, Celtic-inspired night prayer at 8:30 p.m. Volunteers to help with dinners and program are always welcome. Contact Sharon at Sharon@stbartsatlanta.org
YOUNG ADULTS: READING THE BIBLE AGAIN... In preparation for our Lenten bible study, we are reading Marcus Borg's book Reading the Bible Again for the First Time: Taking the Bible Seriously but not Literally. Come and have dinner with us in the Amerson House at 7:00 p.m., then we will dig in to a dialogue about how we view scripture and how it speaks to our lives today. We will spend the month of February with Borg's book in hopes of understanding how we approach scripture both individually and as a group. All those in their 20's and 30's are invited!!

DIOCESAN EVENTS FOR YOUNG ADULTS For more than a year, young adults from across the diocese have come together to create a connection between our parishes, and the result of this is DAYA, the Diocese of Atlanta Young Adults ministry. Our primary mission is to enable people in their 20s and 30s to grow in their faith and connect with their peers through diocesan, local church, and independently sponsored events. With Bishop Alexander's blessing, we are spreading the message of this ministry to encourage greater participation in the Church by young adults. For much more information, and an update to what is happening this month, link to the DAYA website: www.dofaya.org Regular events include:
Ichabod's Night at the Movies - First Wednesday of Every Month, 7:30 p.m. Get ready for the next installment of Ichabod's. More than a movie night, less than a lecture series - it's a seriously involved examination of faith and spirituality in unexpected places. With a home-cooked meal from a fellow young adult, it's a great time for fun and fellowship. Always the first Wednesday of each month. INAM is held at Amerson House at St. Bart's - 1790 LaVista Road NE, 30329.
Sunday's Cool - NEW TIME! - Second Sunday of Every Month, 1:00 p.m. Get it? Sunday School? It's kind of like that, but not really. The second Sunday of every month, we'll get together for lunch at Jason's Deli at 1:00 p.m. Located at 10^th and Piedmont, this event enables us to get together, relax, and reflect on everything from great sermons to upcoming activities at our parishes.
Theological Brew - Last Thursday of Every Month , 7:30 p.m. Theological Brew continues at Manuel's Tavern. Focusing on everything from Conflict within God's Community to Social Justice, Episcopal Evangelism, and more. Bring your appetite, some good ideas, and a few friends for fellowship served with a side of spiritual discussion. All are welcome!
