UnChristian by David Kinnaman & Gabe Lyons. This book has created a lot of discussion over how
16-29 year olds view the church and their faith. The book will provide a springboard for thinking on how to reach a generation that is leaving the church. If you are interested in the next generation - join us. Meets at the Soderbergs, 5627 Cornish Way, 22315 (near Kingstowne). 6:00-8:00 p.m.
