We are underway in the Compassion Journey. Week one is teaching us about the compassion of Christ as we become the bread of life to the world around us. There are several parts to this campaign that we think will deliver the greatest impact, they are listed as follows:

1. Attend weekend services. Our first weekend is gone, but it's not too late for you to jump in. In fact, it's not too late for you to invite guests. We'll see you Sunday.

2. Join a small group. Our small groups are meeting throughout the week in a variety of locations and times. Find one to connect with. We held a sign-up on Sunday, and are continuing to sign-up more. If you'd like to get connected click here for the small group line-up and information.

3. Spend 15 minutes a day with God. We've provided Guide Books for the journey that are a one-stop package for this journey. They are available through your small groups and at our weekend services. (These book cost us $6.00 to produce, we ask that you help defray that cost. If you can't afford it, take one anyway on us.)

4. Pick and pray for a Prayer Partner. These are handled through our small groups. Our expectation is that you'll connect once a week with your prayer partner and find out what they need prayer for. Then pray each day for that person. We believe praying for others changes our lives. This Sunday you'll have the chance to register as a Prayer Partner, and you'll be informed of prayer needs in the church.

5. Invite three friends to join us during the compassion journey.

These are the 5 pillars of a successful journey. We invite you to come along.
