AYP DEVOTIONALS • WEEKNIGHTS • 7:00PM CDT
As our world deals with the Coronavirus, our churches have moved online, our workplaces have had to make adjustments, and some of us have even been ordered to shelter at home! Regardless of your situation, we recognize that it is tough to adjust to this new way of life.

How It Works:
Each weekday Adventist Young Professionals will be hosting a short, 30-minute devotional where you can connect with individuals locally and around the world. Your host will lead a short 10-minute discussion followed by a popcorn prayer. You will have the opportunity to meet new people whom you can continue getting to know via AYP’s global Facebook group following our Zoom call.

How to Join:
To RSVP and receive the link to our daily devotional, click here or the icon above. If you would like to receive text reminders prior to our steam, feel free to add your number as well. We can’t wait to meet you at AYP Devotionals!

The good we see in this situation is that with this time in quarantine, there is an unprecedented opportunity for growth💪🏽. The question is:

What are you going to do with the time you have?⏰

God not only wants you to keep your sanity right now when you’re in isolation, but He also wants you to grow your relationship with Him.

We want to help you in that process. That’s why we’re offering access to the entire ARISE Online course for FREE for 60 days if you sign up by April 26.🗓
