Thank you for STOPPING In.
What to expect at Journey:
You can expected to be greeted by someone at the door and to meet people who are looking forward to meeting you. On the first Sunday of each month we have a traditional worship service with choir, Holy Communion and children's time. Worship begins at 9:30 a.m.
On the 2nd-5th Sundays of the month, our 9:30 a.m. worship features our praise band, Footnotes, and includes children's time and a more contemporary worship style.
Our Samoan service meets at noon, following Samoan Sunday School on the 2nd-5th Sundays and is led by a lay speaker who brings the message of Jesus in Samoan. The Samoan congregation sings traditional hymns and Samoan music. Service often includes Samoan dance. Our Samoan brothers and sisters join the family worship on the first Sunday of the month to celebrate Communion.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you comfortable. We know that God loves us right where we are and we do not have to put on a uniform or specific outfit to worship. We also know that some people feel more comfortable when they dress up for worship--for them dressing up may even BE part of worship. That is great! So wear whatever makes worship more meaningful for you. Our Samoan brothers and sisters often wear traditional Samoan clothing.
Are there people like me?
There are many different people at Journey. We have all ages: single adults, young families with small children, older adults without children, older families with youth or adult children, grandparents, and great-grandparents. We have people of many different ethnic groups and different races. We have people of many different backgrounds, education levels, interests, and perspectives.
Journey is a new faith community, doing something new, reaching new people, and making a difference in the lives of those we meet, in our neighborhood and in our community. One of the things we love about our community--and our church--is that we are multi-ethnic, multiracial, and multicultural. And we understand a church to be a community, made up of many different people and that we are stronger together, sharing in our differences, supporting each other on our way.
That's why our vision is to be: a community where families of all cultures connect to worship, grow and serve on our journey with Jesus. Connecting people together. Supporting each other. Understanding that in our diversity, we are all stronger, better, and more complete. The family of God, made up of the children of God from all nations and tribes. That is our vision.
I can't wait to meet you!
