Beach Baptism

So proud of each of these middle schoolers!!!

Sunday, September 13, 2009 they joined many others from Journey at the Crown Point in Mission Bay and got baptized! How cool is that!

Drop In

It's a Saturday Night, and your middle schooler has nothing to do, where can you send them?

DROP IN! Drop In is a Riptide Event in Student Center B, filled with fun games, movies, and just a great time for middle schoolers to hang out. Our Riptide Cafe will be open selling snacks and dinner items, but other than that...it is absolutely free! Bring a friend and DROP IN!

Baby-Sitting Fundraiser

The married couples of Journey Community Church are having date night so we are taking care of the kids. Your middle schooler can volunteer to baby-sit that night and help raise money for Student Ministries. Middle Schoolers meet at Journey at 5:30pm this Saturday. We will go over instructions and assign you to an age group. For more information please email christina@journeycom.org.

CHURCH WIDE BAPTISM

Sunday, September 13th 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 will 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. Also, feel free to download the Riptide Baptism booklet in the download section to the right.

This is definitely a day you and your family will not want to miss!

Summer Youth Jam 2009

The youth pastor from North Park Apostolic Church invited our Middle School Worship Team to play at the Youth Jam they were hosting for the community this past Saturday. It was a great time of live music from every genre, a BBQ grilling contest, and games. It was so much fun!
