**AYP GATHERS: SUNSET SOCIAL // JULY 3 // 7:00PM CDT**
Adventist Young Professionals in the Southwest USA has connected, engaged and equipped Adventist young professionals over the past months through engaging webinars. As we enter a post-covid world, the Southwest team is pleased to host our first AYP Gathers, a social event coming Independence Day weekend on July 3rd in Alvarado, Texas.
**AYP Gathers: Sunset Social**
The purpose of AYP Gathers is to facilitate a space for young adults to intentionally connect with each other and build a sense of community within our Southwest network. Our first AYP Gathers is called Sunset Social on July 3rd from 7 - 9 PM. Sunset Social will be held at one of our ambassador’s homes in Alvarado, TX, for a more intimate and casual setting just on the outskirts of Keene, TX. It will include fun icebreaker activities, a devotional talk, praise & worship, prayer, food, and fireworks. All activities will be led or facilitated by AYP Southwest leaders.
**What To Bring**
Attendees are encouraged to be one and bring one. This means we not only want people within our AYP Southwest network to bring themselves, but to also bring a young adult friend. Everyone needs to also bring their own lawn chairs for seating and fireworks (at their discretion). All other items will be provided by AYP Southwest.
“I have been long awaiting this opportunity to finally meet the AYP family in person and engage in ways we haven’t done in the past. This is an extremely joyful moment as we continue to build the foundation of our young adult community through meaningful fellowship, networking, and worship. I am looking forward to meeting you all and sharing more on the plans we have for the future. See you soon!” - Paulino Santos, SW Regional Director
While there is no cost to attend Sunset Social, registration is required and space is limited. Visit www.AdventistYoungProfessionals.org/southwest to secure your spot today. Upon registering, you will receive the exact address. Spread the word! We’ll see you on July 3, 2021

PURSUE GOD

Last week’s teaching by Thaddeus Turner and A Allan Martin, Sabbath and the Rhythm of Rest.

DEEP DIVE: SABBATH AND THE RHYTHM OF REST
Recover your real life by walking with Jesus.

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” –Matthew 11:28-30 [NIV]

In today's world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance. We long for time with friends and family, we long for a moment to ourselves.

Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic *How, Then, Shall We Live?*, shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, and renewal--a refuge for our souls.

Let us consider how to inspire each other to greater love and to righteous deeds, not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.” —Hebrews 10:23-25 [Voice]

*"Deep Calling: On Being and Growing Disciples"* is a wholistic movement – discipleship and disciple-making – that emphasizes a life-long process, not a destination. It’s about making space for God in the every day, bearing witness to transformation in the ordinary. It’s about knowing truth and experiencing Truth. It’s about learning to listen to the voice of God. It’s about satisfying your longing with the only One who can satisfy your soul. All are invited. All are welcome to answer the deep call of God.
