Journeys


We are....

A fun-loving community group who desires to learn more about God, strengthen our faith and develop strong and lasting friendships.  Our Sunday morning studies range from in-depth explorations of books of the Bible, contemporary books with Christian applications and faith topics that can enhance our daily lives at home and work.  Most studies are DVD-based, followed by lively interactive discussions.  We truly care about each other and share in each others’ joys and sorrows like a family; supporting each other through a strong prayer network and personal encouragement.  To enhance this strong bond, we love to have fun!  Finally, we are always on the lookout for those in need that we can help through our actions and support. 

We are basically a group of married and single folks in our 40’s and 50’s. But everyone is welcome. If this sounds like a group you would like to be a part of, please come visit us!  We meet on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. in Quad 2B&C.  For more information regarding our class, please contact Mike Furman.  Our next study begins Sunday, January 8 ... please see description below and consider joining us!


"Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them" by John Ortberg

Normal?  Who's Normal?  Not you, that's for sure!  No one you've ever met, either.  None of us are normal according to God's definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes.  Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other.  Community is more than just a word---it is one of our most fundamental requirements.  So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for?  In "Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them", teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick.  You'll get a thought-provoking look at God's heart, at others, and at yourself.  Even better, you'll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways.  With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth.
