Helping people

WEEKEND

find and follow Christ.

FRONT AND CENTER

Thank you for choosing a seat toward the front and center of the Auditorium when we come together to worship as a community. This helps your mind and heart remain engaged as others discreetly find open seating in the back once the experience has begun.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are excited to walk together with you. If you’re new, we’d like to give you a free gift, (no strings attached), just stop by a host station.

“PREPARED – FACING THE STORMS OF LIFE” (cut this out and use it to invite a friend)

JOIN IN

TRADUCCIÓN DEL MENSAJE

Jesus said, “The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because…” (Matthew 7:25) Because that house was prepared!

With hurricane season upon us in South Florida, everybody is familiar with the call to readiness. Being prepared for the storm before it comes is always the better part of wisdom. In this series, we apply the wisdom of God to help us ready ourselves for the following challenges of life: • The Everyday Storm – Practical ways to face the pressure systems of your day-today living. Philippians 4:6-7 • The Setback Storm – Using your set back as a step up into a new future. John 5:1-15 • The Financial Storm – Being Ready before You Need to Be. Proverbs 6:6-8, 21:5, 24:3-4, 27:12 • The Marriage Storm – Standing together against the storm. 1 Peter 3:1-7 • The Catastrophic Storm – Weathering the Big One. Psalm 91

“PROLOGUE THE PAST IS

This quotation is engraved on the National Archives building in Washington, D.C. But I believe its truth speaks clearly about Christ Journey Church. We have come this far borne on the wings of a glorious past. Year 2016 will mark our 90th birthday as a church body. But our best stories are yet to be told.

Our greatest days are yet to come. We are the church of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, who said, “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”

Our new ministry year is fast approaching with new beginnings coming on every hand. Let’s pray together that this will be among our greatest years yet! We are especially excited for our Kendall campus Grand Opening, coming August 30.

Our founding pastor was right when he said, “Our future is as bright as the promise of God!” Expectantly,

Orange

SUNDAY Sunday• Aug. 30

As the summer winds down, Family Ministry is gearing up with exciting environments and dedicated volunteers. Orange Sunday is our big kickoff for the new ministry year. Kids and teens will be promoted to their new class or environment, see old friends and meet new volunteers who want to help them find and follow Christ. This is also our time to partner with parents and talk about the unique role they play in the life of their child or teen. See, around here (or at Christ Journey), we don’t just want kids to be excited as they grow in their faith. We want to inspire and equip parents to be the best they can be at leading their families. We call that, Thinking Orange. Come on Orange Sunday to see first hand how Orange can help your family experience a more vibrant and abundant life in Christ.

For information on time, location and age groups, please see the back panel.
