Dates & Times

The 2007 program ran from September 23rd through November 11th. Due to the success of the Journey Programs in 2006 and 2007, plans are already in the works for a Journey Program in 2008.

What a Journey Program involves:
The Journey is a spiritual growth program designed to serve people who want to take a meaningful and positive step in personal and spiritual growth. It is an interactive program that creates pportunities for individual study, building friendships, finding support, and becoming more connected to a spiritual community.

There are three core components to this program: individual study, small group participation, and Sunday worship. The purpose of the program is to help people make progress on their journey in the context of a supportive and welcoming environment. You can participate at whatever level you prefer, absorbing new ideas through listening and reading, or contributing your own thoughts and reflections during discussion times.

By participating in this program you will be creating a space to grow personally, discovering areas in your life that hold you back, and finding new tools for breaking free from old habits. Participation also creates an opportunity to find and build friendships that support you in your life and on your spiritual path.

	Benefits of the Program

	In this spiritual growth program, you will have an opportunity to focus on your own personal and spiritual growth in a safe and welcoming environment. You will have a chance to share your ideas and hear others’ reflections on the core topics explored. The Journey program is a great opportunity for personal growth and to build friendships and connections with people in the Rochester area and beyond. People who have participated in past Journey programs say: “Taking this class has helped me make God a part of my everyday life—not just at church on Sunday.” “I appreciated the structure to this program. It helped me personally in my marriage and in building friendships.” “This program has helped me feel closer to my spouse and given us a chance to connect on a deeper level. It has been helpful, reminding me of what is important in life and to be grateful for the things I have.” “It is so helpful being in a group— connecting with people and feeling like you are encouraging each other on the journey of life.” “The program helped me to feel more part of the community and more integrated.”
