Our Friday Night Group finally Has a Name

For weeks our group has been brainstorming, suggesting, and considering names. We meet on Friday nights at 6pm for dinner and have a program at 7. Our group has slowly been growing and we have become involved in more activities.

Every other Thursday we are now partnering with the Salvation Army to feed about 300 homeless at Keleti Train Station. It's been an amazing experience and many of our group have felt really good about being involved in this type of ministry.

We have also helped out friends, and friends of friends, with various projects from wood chopping to collecting cardboard to burn in the cold weather. There seems to be a plethura of ministry opportunities.

Our group ranges from 15 to early 30's and amazingly get's along quite well.

So it seems like it's become hard to identify just exactly who we are, and how to encapsulate that in a name. The last week, after a vote during our normal weekly meeting, we settled on a name.

CIA. No, not the intelligence agency. Christianity In Action. It means that we are searching for authentic Christianity. We are looking for a real relationship with Christ in the realest of senses. But we're not satisfied with stopping there. We want more. We want our relationship to inspire action. Action to love, care and show Christ to those around us. So we are CIA. We are putting Christianity in Action.
