SEPTEMBER NEXT STEPS

THIS MONTH

GUESTS
Welcome to Journey Church. You can get a religious experience anywhere. We focus on taking steps in our relationships and we believe that God wants to have a personal relationship with you. We want to encourage you to explore or take steps to experience more of God. In Him, we find our best life. If you're new to Journey Church, fill out the guest card here. If you're at church, you can fill out the card in the seat and bring it to the Next Steps Center in the lobby. We will send you a gift card to say thanks for joining us and we promise not to harass you.

CONNECT CARD
You can use the online connect card to submit a prayer request, request any assistance or take a next step.  You can find it here.

SEPTEMBER SERIES: FIRST THINGS FIRST
Sundays in September at 9:30 and 11:00 am.
It's easy to get so caught up in lots of things that don't really matter. In this series we'll look at a letter written 2000 years ago that will help us put First Things First. This letter is timeless advice for how to live a life that matters and is focused on the most important things that will lead to the greatest impact.

SPECIAL FALL KICKOFF EVENTS
We have a few special things this fall. We have a Tailgate Party between the services on September 11. We are delivering your donated school supplies from our project to help local kids. Thanks for spreading kindness. On October 2 we will have a special birthday bash for our 19th birthday. Also Serve Week is coming next month starting on Oct. 8.

JOURNEY CLASSES

ALPHA: If you are new to The Journey, exploring faith, or just have questions, Alpha is a great place to take a step with us. Alpha provides a laid back and friendly environment to ask questions, build relationships and take steps together. The next session of Alpha starts in October. You can find details and sign up here. 

BAPTISM
We are sharing baptism stories this month from our beach baptism event in August. If you're interested in getting baptized, you can see more details here.

VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is a great way you can play a part to make The Journey a great place for people to explore & experience God. More details or sign up to Try it here.

NETWORK TEAMS

NETWORK TEAMS are a great way to be part of something bigger than yourself because, together, we can share God's love by impacting our community and grow closer to God. 

SCHOOL SUPPLIES THANK YOU!
This month we delivered backpacks and school supplies to school in Reeths-Puffer and Whitehall districts. Thanks for you generosity helping kids in our community!

MORE STEPS & RESOURCES

GIVE ONLINE
If you normally give at church in the boxes or the kiosk, you can still give online here. Thanks for your generosity and giving to the mission.

GROWTH PATHWAY
The Growth Pathway is a series of next steps to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It's not a list of tasks to complete, instead, it's a guide to give some direction to continue to move forward in your faith. Find the guide here.

SONGS
You can find all of the songs we play at church and our Spotify playlist here. Take some time to listen and focus on God.
