Here’s What You Can Expect From an A2F Friday Night
First thing’s first: What is A2F Friday?
Every Friday night, we all gather together to be in community, learn about God’s word, and have fun! We consist of undergraduate and post-grad students and are led by our staff mentors and pastors. If you want to have a good laugh, meet new people, and grow in spiritual knowledge- you’ve come to the right place.
Do you have to be a Christian to come to A2F Friday?
I’m glad you asked. The answer is no. We all come from a variety of different backgrounds. Whether you grew up in the church, don’t know God, or have turned away from God- we want to invite you in to our Friday nights!
THE BREAKDOWN:
Here’s what really goes down on a Friday…
Dinner: Normally if there wasn’t a global pandemic going around, we’d usually enjoy meeting in person and starting off the night with some good food. But for now, our home-cooked meals will have to do, whatever that may be (steak?? Shin ramen?? Don’t worry, we don’t judge).
Ice-breakers: To kick off the night, we usually like to get to know our peers better by playing some fun ice-breakers! This can range from attempting to find our most unique commonality in small groups, sharing our high’s and low’s of the week, or making creative Zoom group photos.
Message: After a few activities, we next dive deep into the message of the night. Usually, our pastor or one of our staff members will share an insightful message that draws from the Bible. We cover topics from “What is Christianity?” and misconceptions of Christianity to how to manage stress. After the large group message, we also have the opportunity to break into smaller groups to discuss what we have just learned.
Post-TFN: Once the message portion of the night is over, we often like to continue the fun by playing some games and having fellowship with each other! Post-Friday nights are never boring. Sometimes we will go bowling, go ice skating, eat some bingsoo, have dance parties, or play an intense game of charades. So far on A2F Friday: Zoom edition, we have played some fun mind games and secret hitler in breakout rooms!
