Transformers


What an awesome day! On Sunday, June 24th, Journey concluded it's Transformers series by making an impact on our community. We began the day with praise and worship and ended with shopping and a BBQ.
The focus of the day was to live the message we had been hearing and the people of Journey really came through. They were challenged to go shopping at a local grocery store to buy food for the John Knox food bank. They were dismissed from "church" at the time that I would normally preach a 23 - 30 min message and were sent out to "be the church and live the sermon" instead.
The results were beyond our expectation. As people began to return we saw waves and waves of food being brought, sorted and ready to be delivered. We were able to fill a 6 x 12 trailer, front to back and about 3 feet high with nonperishable food and personal items for those in need within our community. We delivered the trailer full of goodies on Monday morning and were greeted with smiling faces and many thanks for Cindy and Shirley, the directors of the John Knox food pantry.

Way to Go Journey! You have been Transformed and have become Transformers!
