We’re looking forward to participating in our second General Church spiritual growth campaign, called The Journey. We’ll be kicking off our campaign on September 23rd and will continue with the focus on the Exodus story through November 11th.
The campaign is an opportunity to come together as a congregation and reach out to our community. A campaign has three core elements: 1) Sunday worship centered on a theme; 2) small group participation and 3) daily reading.
People who have participated in other spiritual growth campaigns say the following:
“During the campaign I gained an increased awareness of who I am, what I do, and that I am here for.”
“I have more focus and more intention to involve God in my day to day relations and actions. I have renewed my feeling that the New Church is the right place for me.”
“I’ve thought a lot more on how to be good and how to best live my life.”
“I’m bringing God into my life more frequently–actually on a daily basis. I’ve downloaded a reading guide and am reading the Word on a daily basis.”
“I feel more love for those around me, especially the ones I got to know better in my small group. Each person is so special and unique and learning more about their experiences/thoughts, etc…. I could relate, understand and love them more.”
“My Small Group deepened my relationship with the church; I felt tremendously supported; I really felt the Lord’s presence with how freely we shared and understood.”
“I met a great group of people in my small group. I realized that there was a reason in my life for each one of us to come together. This group alone was the most valuable part of the campaign for me.”
This campaign utilizes the book The Journey of Life: A Personal Meaning to the Exodus Story with Special Application to Marriage, by Tom Kline. The Journey of Life follows the Exodus story of the Israelite Nation and uses the Heavenly Doctrines to examine the Exodus story’s application to the spiritual journey every individual undertakes in his lifetime.
During the campaign we have the opportunity to commit to strengthening our spiritual life. To commit to coming to church for the 8 weeks of the campaign, to commit to being involved in a weekly small group and to commit to daily readings of selections from the Word and reflections in The Journey workbook.
It is an exciting opportunity to experience the power of our whole community coming together to work our spiritual journey, on all levels, in our lives. Eighteen General Church congregations will be embarking on this campaign this Fall—The New Church of Boulder Valley, The New Church at Boynton Beach, Bryn Athyn Church, The New Church Buccleuch, Washington New Church, Glendale New Church, Glenview New Church, Ivyland New Church, The Philadelphia (Korean) New Church, Los Angeles New Church, Oak Arbor Church, Palo Alto New Church, New Church of Phoenix, Pittsburgh New Church, San Diego New Church, The Sowers Chapel, Sunrise Chapel, New Church Westville. Each of these communities (together with ours!) will be advertising this program to the community and personally inviting friends to join us in this effort.
Please join us starting September 23rd and spend the next eight weeks (until November 11th) working on our spiritual lives together.
