MAY NEXT STEPS
May 1, 2025
WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY
Welcome to Journey Church. You can get a religious experience anywhere. We focus on taking steps in our relationships, and we believe that God wants to have a personal relationship with you. We want to encourage you to explore or take steps to experience more of God. In Him, we find our best life. If you're new to Journey Church, fill out the guest card here. We will send you a gift card to thank you for joining us and promise not to harass you. You can use the online connect card here to submit a prayer request, request any assistance, or take a next step.

SUNDAYS APRIL 20 - MAY 11 AT 9:30 & 11:00 AM
Whether you’re asking for a friend or yourself, it’s normal to have questions & doubts. In this series, we are investigating some big questions that can shift our faith and our lives.
NETWORK TEAM SERVICE PROJECT
May Project: Adopt a Mom
This month is Mother's Day, so we are adopting two single moms as we look to spread kindness in our community. We have two projects: Thursday Night, May 8 & Saturday morning, May 10. Find all the details and directions here.
CELEBRATION SUNDAY - May 18
This is our annual year in review as we celebrate the past year, honor God for all He has done, and thank our volunteers.
CHURCH ON THE LAWN - May 25, 11:00 am only
We normally have our outdoor services every Sunday in July. This year, we will host them on holiday weekends. Our first one is coming up this month with Memorial Day Weekend. This one is at 11:00 am, so there is time for the weather to warm up since it's still spring.
SPRING SURVEY RESULTS
Thanks to everyone who filled out a spring survey. Some of your questions were worked into our current series. Matt is going to try to follow up on some of your other questions. We also asked about our summer schedule. After reviewing the results, we will be going to one service at 10 am in July & August. We normally do one service in July. In August, we will have Church at the Beach and Church on the Lawn for Labor Day weekend. So we will stay with one service for those extra couple of weeks at the beginning of August.

MORE STEPS & RESOURCES
GIVE ONLINE
Our giving makes our mission a reality. You can give online here. You can also give through Venmo. Our handle is @JourneyChurch-WestMI. Thanks for your generosity and for giving to the mission.
GROWTH PATHWAY
The Growth Pathway is a series of next steps to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It's not a list of tasks to complete. Instead, it's a guide to give some direction to continue to move forward in your faith. Find the guide here.
