Journey Partners

Our sanctuary at UniPlace



With Lent fast approaching it has been rewarding to prepare our sanctuary for the holy season. Looking through beautiful banners we have used in the past, we found these lovely ones created years ago by Mary Wallace. We were able to modify them for our Journey theme. Don't they look great!?

The first word we added to the banners was "Ours." Notice the plural. In our individualistic society we easily fall into thinking that the spiritual journey is a solo pursuit. Christ calls us into partnership.

As part of our visioning process the whole church is called into discernment together this holy season. We are forming teams of 3-4 folks who covenant to pray together about once a week with and for one another and with and for the rest of the church.

Join us on the journey as we listen for God's call to mission and ministry. Here is another verse from our theme hymn:

Should the threats of dire predictions cause us to withdraw in pain,
may your blazing phoenix spirit resurrect the church again
God of rainbow, fiery pillar, leading where the eagles soar,
we your people, ours the journey now and evermore.
