Dear Journey Friends ~

Finally we are getting in our tallies for this year’s baby bottle campaign, and we are very encouraged.  Last year Clay County raised almost $18,000.  So far this year we have raised over $12,000 in Clay County!

Journey Church made a tremendous contribution to this campaign.  Your church turned in 58 bottles filled with change that totaled $962.53!  Abundant thanks to your church family for this gracious gift.  You are helping us keep our doors open to not only save babies, but to ministry life to lost women and men.  Our one year anniversary is September 1, so be on the look-out for an update of our activity so far.

Thank you again, and God bless you all ~ Cheryl

Disconnected, hurt, or disengaged Christians have been a burden on my heart. Many followers of Christ once lived vibrant lives. The put Christ first, they actively served in their church, they enjoyed the community and fellowship of other believers yet right now their faith and spiritual growth is stalled. They are disconnected and not growing. Chances are they are hurting.

Tim Keller writes, “there is no way you will be able to grow spiritually apart from a deep involvement in a community of other believers. You can’t live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends…”

Are u feeling spiritually disconnected? Plug in, serve, attend a small group, meet some new friends

Do you know somebody who is disconnected? Pray for them now. Send them a note of encouragement. Let them know how much you love and muss them. Invite them to join you in church this weekend.

May our wounded brothers and sisters not be forgotten. Let us reach out to them today.

The Call2Fall is simply responding to God's "call to fall" in 2 Chronicles 7:14

Last year Journey Church held a very successful back to school drive that helped over 250 Clay County Children have the school supplies needed to start school with the tools to be successful. As an added bonus many of them received free hair cuts, got their nails painted, and enjoyed bounce houses, free food, and more. It was an awesome day.

Well, it’s time to start collecting again as  our event will be held in early august – final details will be posted this week.

But as you are out and about, please pick up a backpack, or other various school supplies and begin to drop them off at the church. This year we are hoping to serve even more than last year.

Thank you for helping to make this back to school drive a success.
