How do you respond to coworkers asking you go to go the bar with you on a Friday night when you have Bible study fellowship?

In addition to telling them you’re busy, depending on your comfort level, you might even tell them that you appreciate the invite and would enjoy a get-together another time. If it happens to be a bar again, again - depending on your comfort level - you could join them, stay for a while, have a drink (non-alcoholic if preferred), and bow out if the drinking gets out of control or if they are pressuring you to drink. Alternatively, maybe you could suggest an activity sometime that is less drinking-centric but is a good way to get to know your colleagues better, and they you.

I would test the waters to see if the individual is a believer before mentioning about Bible study. Pray before providing an answer and the right words will flow out of your mouth.

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

My husband and I regularly attend (virtually lately) a church we love, however there’s not a great way for us to connect by way of a small group (We’re in our late 20s and I’d say the average age in our church is 50 so all the groups are geared towards parents with adult children, things like that). How do you find ways to connect outside of church?
