New Blog
Welcome to Journey Church's new youth blog.
We're going to be using it to make sure that you guys know what is going on.
Sunday mornings we have a youth service during the adult service.
We're looking at Walking With Frodo by Sarah Arthur. It is based on the Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Tolkien was a believer who wove his faith into his writing. His heroes fight a war against the forces of darkness--a war in which every decision counts. In Walking with Frodo we will look at nine pairs of choices--darkness or light, betrayal or loyalty, deception or honesty, to name just a few--and seek what the Bible has to say about each.
We are going to be looking at how to apply the truths mentioned in the book to our everyday lives. We will also look at how the journeys highlighted in the book can relate to our personal journeys.
If you miss a Sunday, check on here for an update on what we talked about!
