Small groups are the heart of SYW experience. In keeping with the "last shall be first," Small Group #29 out of 29. Many more photos to come! We've quickly posted all the small group photos and staff group here.

A special Friend Request is waiting for you at Synod Youth Workshop 2007! Don’t miss it as we login and discover who is really there for us 24/7. We’ll explore the words of Jesus from Matthew 5 and find out when we are blessed in God’s eyes. We’ll also explore questions like: Is online friendship enough when it comes to a relationship	with God? Or with others? Who can be trusted in the cyber-world? If God had a MySpace, what would it look like? Just think how many people God’s Friend Space must have in it! Don’t miss SYW 2007 where we will experience connections to God and to one another that are much deeper than cyber space can offer.
