SUNDAY: FINAL WEEK OF SUMMER CELEBRATION
This Sunday is week 5 of our Summer Celebration Series. You can watch any of the previous weeks on our Series page on the website, but even if you missed any part of the series, you can still come this week.
Benevolence Offering: This Sunday is the 5th Sunday, so we will have hosts at the auditorium doors after each service to collect this special offering that goes to people in our Journey community that are in need of financial help.

BACKPACK & SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE - FINAL WEEK
This is the last week we will be collecting for our annual school supply collection to help kids in need in our community. You can drop off any school supplies in the bins at church on Sunday. Look on the August Journey sheet to find a list of possible items to pick up.

ANOTHER $10K
We are very thankful & excited for a great month with the $10,000 challenge in July. It was a great turn around in our finances and we want to keep pushing towards our long term financial health to ensure maximium impact in & through our church. We want to make sure we have a long history with a legacy of generations along the lakeshore who have experienced relationships, not religion. We have a new challenge from another generous gift to help us move toward longevity. For every person that signs up to do automatic/recurring giving or increases their current auto-giving, this donor will give The Journey a $200 bonus. If 25 people sign up to do recurring giving, they will give a $5,000 check to The Journey. If 50 people sign up they will give a $10,000 check, etc. You can set up auto-giving through your bank, by filling out this form through The Journey's bank or on your debit card through Secure Give on the donate page online, through the kiosk or the mobile app.
