New Year 2010 at Journey

Join us at Journey on January 3rd at 5pm for our 1st gathering of 2010! Come take a moment to regroup from the holiday whirlwind and join us this New Years weekend! We will have an extended time of response as we travel through stations of meditation to reflect on the year past and consider the gift of the year to come. We hope it will be a great way to start off 2010 with intention and, of course, hope!

We will have some visually stunning representations of our hope for 2010. It's a perfect time to join us if you haven't been in a while.

Gifts for The Well

This year as part of our Advent Conspiracy we are continuing our tradition of adopting Well members at Christmas and bringing them gifts. (The Well is a ministry for people with mental illness.) For many of them, our gift will be the only one they receive. In the past we've purchased items from personalized wish lists but this year they are trying something new. They are asking us to bring $40 Wal-Mart giftcards. It is a real treat for them to be able to go shopping and pick out exactly what they want; something we often take for granted. They will be able to purchase clothes as well as toiletry items and food. There will be a designated day when all of them will load up in the bus and go shopping together, so it will be a communal activity also.

Thanks to all who have already signed up to bring cards! You can find the sign-up sheet on the blue table in the entryway. Checks can be made out to Journey. And don't forget, you can also go in on a card with friends! The deadline to bring money for the cards is Sunday, December 13.
