Special Program
This journey program has been completed. Please watch for our next journey program in the fall of 2010.
What is it?
A New Church Journey Program is a seven week program where people are invited to study a specific story in the Word and work on applying its teachings to their own life and spiritual growth.
What is this year’s theme?
The theme for this year’s program is Living Courageously. We will explore the story of Elijah from the Old Testament and look at how the spiritual meaning of this story speaks to us about living courageously by following the laws of God.
How can I get involved?
Getting involved is easy! You can get involved in whatever way is best for you. Given your time and schedule you can get involved as much or as little as you would like:
- Come worship together on Sunday at 10:30am. Each week we will be exploring a different part of the story of Elijah.
- Order a work book. For $10 you can purchase a workbook that has weekly readings, questions, and thoughts on the week’s topic. You can use these work books individually, as a couple, or even as a family. Please email the Pastor now to order a work book.
- Participate in a weekly discussion group. These groups will provide a chance to get to know others, talk about the concepts of the program and the Sunday message, and get support in applying these teachings to your life. There will be a variety of groups to choose from that will meet at different times and locations to suit your needs.
