Journey Student Blog - 9/8/14 - week 2 of 12

GAME ON!
What an awesome Journey launch week we had last week! We have Journey events on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. One newcomer to CLC told us that she was absolutely thrilled with the choices we had to offer her to connect with other people.

 CONNECT GROUPS & EVENTS
A huge shout out to our Connect Group leaders plus our Men’s, Women’s, Singles, and Couples Network teams who are making things happen to connect people through fun activities. Information does not build the kingdom, relationships do.

JOURNEY INSERT
Our Journey insert debuted last Sunday in the bulletin. Each week you can use this insert as a handy reference guide to invite newcomers you may encounter to get connected. You can find it all on one sheet of paper or at www.clctn.org/journey.

 TABBETHA MULLER - JOURNEY AA        
Tabbetha can be found each Wednesday evening in the church office faithfully cranking out Journey projects. Next time you see her at her post, tell her thanks!

 SANCTUARY PRE-SET UP
Shout out to Pastor Jim who pre-set up the sanctuary last Wednesday night for the Journey launch. We will be doing it one final time this Wednesday. We will put the signs on the leader’s seat one last time. After this Wednesday, Journey leaders will be responsible for the group circle set up and take down. Please take special care to put the seats back in the order in which you found them in the area that your group meets.

 GS1 & JLE IN WORSHIP GOING FORWARD
Last Wednesday Grow Series 1 & Journey Leader Essentials met for an orientation at the CLC Ministry House. This week, we will be joining you for worship adding another 50 people for worship at 6:30pm in the sanctuary.

 JOURNEY DC CHILDCARE SUPPORT
We want to thank Adam Lindsey’s group for providing support to Upstreet this Wednesday night. We rotate our Journey Discipleship groups through serving in Upstreet as part of their discipleship training. We serve better together!

 QUESTIONS?
How can we help you? Just email me at drobertson@clctn.org.

 Best!

Headline News - 9/2/14 - Launch Week

IT’S GO TIME!

Tonight begins the rollout of the Journey Fall Trimester! We begin with the “Model Man” workshop with a dozen men. Wednesday, our discipleship coaching groups finish out their last trimester, and our focus & connect groups launch. Friday, our ladies focus groups are debuting for the Fall with wonderful leaders, wonderful group members, and wonderful curriculums.

ONLY 13 WEEKS TO GRADUATION

You are on the home stretch of your Journey Discipleship Experience! Let’s determine to finish strong. We will be waiting on you at the finish line to celebrate you with all sorts of honors.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

We are no longer accepting registration for our focus groups. The Journey Connection online form has been modified accordingly and our web site has now hidden the focus group pages.

WED NIGHT HEADS UP

Pastor Jim and I will be setting up the sanctuary with pre-configured meeting areas for all groups tomorrow afternoon. For the first time, we will be hosting our focus groups, connect groups, discipleship coaching groups, and Get Connected Group in the same room at the same time. This will take some skill to organize and allow it to flow tomorrow evening. I will print out a schematic of group locations to be handed out at the door and each circle will be labeled with the group leader(s) names.

Please plan on arriving early – 6:15pm would be ideal if possible. We will have worship as normal. After worship, the pastor that opens the service will release people to their groups.

THANK YOU MIKE DUGAN’S GROUP

Shout out to Mike Dugan’s DC group who will be serving in Upstreet this week!

GROW SERIES 1

Did you know we have close to 30 people in GS1 including leaders David & Deanna Fullerton / Larry & Pam Wiley? This is awesome. This group will begin at 6:30pm sharp at the CLC Ministry House.

JOURNEY LEADER ESSENTIALS

JLE has about 21 amazing leaders meeting at the CLC Ministry House at 6:30pm sharp in the Conference Room on WEDs. We have some established & emerging leaders we will be releasing soon in the Journey.

WOO HOO!

God is so good to us at CLC! The Journey Fall Trimester is at the starting gate and the fun has fired today! It’s off to the races!

Best!

David
