SUNDAY'S SERMON - We finished our Fact or Friction series.
You can view the final sermon, Friction in Ourselves online here!

Coming Sunday February 5th - When God Feels Hidden: the book of Esther
We will taking a quick (4 Weeks) look at the book of Esther in February.
It invites us to us to ask a couple of really important questions:

1. How should a follower of God relate to an often hostile culture; withdrawal, protest, embrace?
2. How do you follow God in morally and spiritually and culturally ambiguous situations when you’re kind of flying blind and you really don’t even know what the right thing to do is?

Journey Kids (Birth - 6th Grade):
We have classes for kids  on Sunday mornings during worship.
We utilize the The Gospel Project materials. On 5th Sundays, all of our kids except for the babies worship with us.

Journey Students (6th - 12th Grade):
Our students meet on Sunday afternoons 4:30-6:00PM. They typically meet at the Journey building, though occasionally there are special events, overnights, retreats, etc.
Joe & Andrea Correll lead our students and would love to answer any questions your might have.

We are planning our next round of baptism for February. If you are interested or would like more information please see one of the elders.

Also, if you are a parent interested in dedicating your baby or child, please let us know. See Pastor Jerry to set up a time to discuss.
