What we’re about
The Bay Area has been missing a good fun and safe environment for Christian Singles to meet, do activities and dance. DJ Nix and I used to go to a lot of dances and events put on by the Christian Singles Newsletter and other organizations years back and had met many new friends. We've decided to put together both of our gifts and talents to bring back that passion that God gave us, and that's to create a fun and safe environment to dance and meet other Christian Singles. We have created PG (Praising God) Productions to provide the events here in the Bay Area. And now that I've moved to SoCal, we are expanding our events to include those in NorCal and SoCal.
Our intent is to hold or promote at least one dance or activity event a month at a location that is located around the Bay Area and have a couple of outdoor activities around Northern and Southern California. We will also join other Christian Organizations such as Cornerstone in their events. But we need your input and assistance to spread the word and give us your ideas to make the overall experience pleasing to God. We also plan to have more than just a dance, we may include dance lessons, local Christian Musicians, kayaking, hiking , biking and other activities.
This group is for Christian Singles of all ages, but we find the largest population to be 35 to 55. So if you love to dance, get outdoors and meet other people who are equally yoked, this group is for you. Join the fun and you'll be glad you did!
Blessings to All,
Brudah B & DJ Nix

It’s time to get ready for our small group time by checking out the recap of last weekend’s message, “EASTER! How to Overcome Your Doubts.” If you’re not able to join us Friday night but are free Sunday morning and live in the Silicon Valley area, let me know, and I’ll send you the address for our local small group meeting.
If you’re interested in getting together in person, we have a number of members in Silicon Valley and Orange County where you can connect for coffee, dinner, or other times of fellowship.
Another way to connect is Mighty Networks, which Pastor Charissa Rikimaru, the Saddleback Online Community Pastor, describes as our Online Community patio space to connect between worship services, providing different areas to engage with people, and even allow private messaging with others.
Don’t forget to pray for your One Life (一生之久). Anytime we meet is a great time to invite him or her to our small group. While newcomers are always welcome to participate, they are just as free to sit back and listen. Please feel free to forward our small group meeting details to those who might be interested.

GaryMEETING AGENDA
This Friday we’ll meet from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, discussing last week’s message “EASTER! How to Overcome Your Doubts.” You can find links for the materials at https://www.saddlebacksiliconvalley.org/events/event339If you live outside the Pacific Time Zone, consider choosing your time zone on our web site by clicking on the globe icon in the upper right corner.
PREPARE FOR THE MEETING
Please note that you will need an authenticated Zoom account. Many find it helpful to sign in to Zoom before joining the meeting. You do need to set your name to your actual name, and it helps to append the city you’re in—we have members from around the country and the world, so it helps to identify our neighbors. If you don’t include your real name, you may not be permitted entry.Our small group time is meant to be a time of honest discussion about the topic for the evening, and we want everyone to have a chance to share, so please be ready to answer each question succinctly, and stay on the topic so there’s no need to interrupt anyone.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After introducing any newcomers, we will begin the Bible study at 7:05 pm, finishing up around 8:30 pm. Please be respectful of others’ time and join on time so we can finish on time, and if anyone is up for it, we will chat afterwards. It helps to keep your video on for visual cues to know if you’re ready to share, but first timers can just hang back and soak it in.Please look over the materials for the week. If you don’t have time to go over everything, that’s fine; often the discussion questions work well on their own, but sometimes they will require quite a bit of introspection—HOMEWORK, as I like to say! If you love to share a lot, please allow others time to share as well. If you’re one who doesn’t share that much, please feel free to jump in; we’d love to hear your thoughts.
WHO WE ARE
Just a reminder to those who have been invited by others: this is a small group Bible study for Christians or those on the path to becoming a Christian, studying God’s word together, primarily for singles in their 30’s to 50’s. Please understand that this isn’t a dating group, and we do welcome those who are in various stages of a relationship, especially couples.GROUND RULES
