Last week we looked at how the 'American Dream' promises prosperity and happiness, but chasing this can lead us down an empty road. Jesus gives a sermon on how to find the deepest form of happiness and what it means to be truly blessed.

Current Sunday Morning Series
Summer is a great time for a road trip, so Riptide will be road trippin' through the book of Matthew. We will be following the travels of Jesus and and look at how his teachings apply to our everyday life. We are even taking part of the teaching times to the road. Instead of the just telling about Jesus on the lake,at the garden, or in the dessert, we will be filming the teaching of these story at various locations and then showing them on Sunday Morning. Each week, we will link to the video shown the previous Sunday.
It will definitely be a fun summer adventure and your middle schooler will not want to miss it!

Church Wide Baptism This Sunday!
Sunday, June 14th Journey Community Church will be having a Church-Wide Baptism. It will be held at Crown Point Mission Bay at 2:00pm to 4:00pm. If you have a middle schooler that is ready to be baptized this would be a great opportunity. I can meet with them briefly to talk about what baptism is, the awesome decision they are making, and what to expect and bring that day.
If you do not have anyone in your family that is getting baptized, this is still a great opportunity to come hang out while supporting those who are taking this exciting step in their Christian walk. There will be hamburgers, hotdogs, and drinks. All you have to do is come and bring a side dish or dessert to share.
If you have any questions feel free to email me at christina@journeycom.org or check out the Journey Community Church website here.
This is definitely a day you and your family will not want to miss!

We will have discussion questions available about the movie and message in the back of the room if you would like. (Or email christina@journeycom.org for a copy.)
