Beat The Heat

Last Sunday, I challenged Journey Church to beat the heat and invest the summer months growing spiritually. Below are FOUR things you can do to grow this summer:

Don't skip out on Sundays - We hope you will take a weekend or two to get away, but make it a priority to be a part of Journey Church the rest of your weekends this summer. Sundays are a great time to connect with one another and encourage those around you to take the next step. When you miss a Sunday, make sure to catch the Journey podcast!

Read the Bible and pray for a few minutes every day - Bible study and prayer are necessities for a Christ follower to grow in their journey with God. Make a commitment to read a book or two of the Bible this summer. John and Proverbs would be great places to start. Invest your commute to work or the first few moments of your day in prayer.

Connect with others on a monthly basis - The summer months are great for connecting, especially with someone new. Summer is a great time to invest some relational time with someone who is disconnected from church. The relational investment this summer will prepare you for an invitation to Journey Church this fall.

Begin or continue to financially partner with Journey Church - Each of us are feeling the crunch of basic living expenses increasing. Just as your bills do not disappear in the summer, neither do the financial responsibilities at Journey Church. The summer season is the perfect opportunity to begin contributing to Journey Church on a regular basis. Your financial faithfulness this summer is needed and will continue to empower our community to make a difference.
