The Journey – Oct 26
The monthly Journey workshop is Sunday, October 26 at 6:30pm in room 303. Pastor Nathan Elgersma and Janessa Gritter will lead this workshop called “Mental Health in the Church.” How do we understand mental health?

Upcoming Journey Sessions:
- November 23: Peace & Reconciliation
- January 25: Genesis Overview
- February 22: TBD
