Can I attend two groups? Education/ Music
God bless you!

Sabrina,
All community groups will be taking place at the same time. Unless you can be in two places at once :), you’ll probably want to sign-up for one group.

To better serve the Next Staff, can you e-mail your request (next[at}SovGraceMin[dot]org? Thank you SO much!

So, as a literature and philosophy lover (and studier), in which group would I best fit?  The writers, maybe?  Or fine arts?  There are those, and I’m among them, that consider the critical evaluation of ancient and modern texts, and the relating of those texts to history and evolving philosophy, to be a fine art.  :-)  I like to imagine myself apart of the legacy of the Inkings, in the spirit of Lewis, Tolkien, and friends.

Hannah,
I’d suggest the Writer’s group. But, please feel free to sign-up for whatever group you’d like!

They need them via. e-mail for administration purposes. Thank you so much!

Yay! I’m glad there is an Education group!

Are the groups just for individuals in the field or are they also for students pursuing the field.

Troy,
Students pursuing the field as well.

What about us stay at home wife/moms who don’t have a career field? ;-) do i get to go back to the room and nap while hubby goes to his field? ;-) ;-)

Hey there!
I am a social worker in the social services/counselling field working specifically with children…where might I fit? Any other non-profit focused groups?

Tyler, I’d suggest education or business. The plan is to sub-divide the groups within the group.

What’s going to happen at the Affinity Groups?  Will it be a social time, a group discussion, a sermon ...?

I work as a nanny, and I don’t see any sort of childcare category.  However, I love writing.  Are these groups just for careers or may I join the writing group?

@B, the schedule for the affinity groups has not been finalized. Our desire is to give folks an opportunity to meet, talk with, and learn from other Christians in their job field.

@ Nan, Please feel free to join the writing affinity group. Another option would be the Education group. Groups will be sub-dividing.

Hi, do you have suggestions for people like me who’re interested in the international development or non-profit organization? Would it be mission group?Thanks.

Andy,
I’d suggest something like the business group. The larger more general groups will be sub-dividing into smaller, more specific groups.

Jessica,

I’d love to have a conversation about the plan for the Affinity groups if you are ever able.  I am a leader at Redeemer Presbyterian in NYC with our Center for Faith & Works.  I have some thoughts if you are interested.  I’ve attended several conferences with you.

Thanks so much for this opportunity and all the time that goes into putting it together! Would you suggest Medicine or Missions if I am studying the first and very interested in the second? ha! too hard to decide!

Arnalia,
We would love your thoughts! Do you have an e-mail address that we could e-mail you at?

Asha,
I’d suggest Medicine! :)

Thanks! :)

What if you have an interest in two groups? Then, what do you do?

Can you make a combined Affinity group of medical + missions?

Joy, Our affinity groups will be meeting at the same time. So, you’ll only be able to attend one. If I had to recommend one, I’d recommend the one that you are currently working in. Our desire is to introduce you to like-minded Christians that work in the same job field as you do. However, please feel free to choose whichever you’d prefer.

Kevin, what a great idea. Sadly, we are not able to do that at this time. Thanks for the suggestion. We are grateful.

I have a B.A. in Sign Language Studies and am fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) what is the best group for me to fit into?  My thought was possibly Education.  Also I would suggest a language or communications group if you chose to do this again in the future.  Thanks, Joel

Joel,
Please feel free to join whatever group you would prefer. There were so many options, that we had to narrow them down and choose the groups that people seemed to be most interested in. Yes, I’d suggest Education. :)

Hi there! I’m curious about what exactly “Media” encompasses. I’m interested in going into new/social media on the web and I’m not really sure where I fall. I’m not really an IT techie, just someone who loves the internet and all the cool stuff you can do with it. Thanks!

Clarissa,
It sounds like the “Media” affinity group would be perfect for you. Enjoy!

I noticed that you said that there were so many options that you had to narrow them down to a few that people seemed most interested in, but there are “Artist”, “Fine Arts”, “Music”, “Photography”, “Film”, and “Graphic Design” groups…nothing whatsoever related to the areas of Counseling or Social Work. Next year, could you include a group for us? Thanks!

Oh, or community development? At least one group addressing some sort of “helping” or “social” profession would be great, seeing that there were so many artist groups.
