Who is CO2?
CO2 is a group of young adults who are pursuing their faith and wanting to be part of true community with other believers. The group consists of 18-28 year olds in both college and careers. They meet at 6:30pm on Wednesdays in the CO2 House next to Memorial Baptist Church.
Why is it named CO2?
1) We proclaim Colossians 2 with special focus on these verses:
6And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness….
2) Memorial has a tree theme and trees need CO2 to survive. We love the fact that God fills us with his “Ruah” (breath and Spirit), and we exhale CO2. God takes the waste, the trials and junk of our lives and turns it into something beautiful.
