Our Spring Community Groups will launch at the end of April and meet over the summer. Check out the options below and sign up soon! Your group leader will be in touch with you to give you more details.
1) Batch Cooking for Journey's Meal Team
Did you know that Journey has a meal team? Our goal for this group is to gather ladies together that enjoy hanging out while cooking. We will meet monthly to put a bunch of freezer meals together so that when we hear of a need in our Journey family we will have some meals ready to go. There will be a small cost to help gather supplies TBD.

4) The Story
“The Story…So much of Scripture, when read aloud, reads like a narrative; like an old favorite story! Our group will study the Bible from this perspective. No prior knowledge is required! If you have a Bible and a desire to learn more of God’s Word, you have everything you need! Join us!!”

5) Ladies Book Study
Ladies, we are all being formed by something, either culture or Christ. If your faith has been disciplined into superficiality, it will work against you. It will not be able to help you navigate the most complex issues of our world. We long to be deeply formed by Christ. The Deeply Formed Life is a road map to the richly rooted place where we find our authentic purpose amid chaotic times. You will need to get the book, Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas.
Leader: Marcie Autry
Meeting: Wednesday evenings (every other) at Marcie's home in Jackson
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Childcare: No
Capacity: 10
6) All Things New
Most Christians miss the ultimate hope for their future because their views of heaven are vague, religious...and, frankly, boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer, nothing is lost. John Eldredge shows how according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home - the New Earth is. Jesus said the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things" (Matthew 19:28), by which he meant the earth, ourselves, and the restoration of everything we love.
