Our goal at Avodah Young Adults is to encourage young adults to walk closely with Jesus whether they are in college, beginning their career, or in the early stages of starting a family. Avodah Young Adults aims to equip you to work, serve, and worship the Lord for the rest of your life.
NEWSLETTER // SEPTEMBER
Hey Young Adults! We are so excited to kick off this fall season with you starting this Sunday, September 8th at 12:30p (following the 11:00a service). We have prayed over this season and felt the Lord calling us to move to weekly meetings. So, starting September 9th at 6:30pm, we will be meeting on Mondays throughout the year. Our prayer is that this group is life giving to all of you as you commit to living intimately with Jesus. That means that you trust that God has a plan for where you work, where you live, who you will marry, when you will have kids, and everything else that you’ll encounter in this life. It also means that you break free of any bondage that sin has on you. Being conformed to the image of Jesus does not happen overnight. So, as you grow in this group and then inspire others to do the same, I know that the goodness of God will permeate every area of your life.
I can’t wait to be with you on Monday nights and don’t forget to reserve the last Friday of each month for our worship and shabbat dinner together. This will be a wonderful time to eat together, worship, and enjoy the true rest that can only be found in the Lord of the Sabbath, King Jesus.
Last thing, registration for our first ever Young Adults Retreat, October 11th-13th is officially open! Numbers are limited due to the size of the house so please put down a deposit so you can reserve your spot.
See you Sunday!
In Christ,
Michael Chadwick

Leader Spotlight
Get To Know Your Leaders:
Michael & Cassi Chadwick
Hey Guys! We are Cassi & Michael Chadwick and we help lead and pastor over Avodah Middle School, High School, and Young Adults. We met at the University of Missouri back in 2016. I was recruited there to swim and Cassi was from the college town, Columbia, MO.
We met in our senior year and I quickly fell in love with Cassi. You could definitely call it “love at first sight”. This upcoming December, we will celebrate 7 years of marriage. In February of 2022, I answered the call to ministry and we began the student ministry of Avodah in September of that year. In addition to the student ministry, we have a real heart for the Young Adult age and the many challenging life decisions that come with it. Our passion is to see people on fire for Jesus and walk in lockstep with His will for their lives.
Cassi and I have two wonderful boys, Grayson (3 years old) and Ellis (8 months old).
