Undie Sunday
This Sunday is Undie Sunday. The Journey is collecting new and clean under garments, socks and toiletries, which we will be donating to Regeneration Outreach Community. Drop by The Journey this week, or come out this Sunday to donate to this great cause!
New Phone Number
The Journey updated its internet connection, which meant we had to get a new phone number. Our new number is: 905-230-8 Triple 6. In case you are wondering about the “Tripe 6” I have written it this way, because of the potential of BOTS scanning our posts. We get enough calls for Duct Cleaning as it is!
This Sunday, May 27/18
This Sunday at The Sunday Gathering we have special guests – the Holtom family. Jamie and Katrina will share about their lives and how their faith and daily living intersect. As many of you know, they have faced tragedy in their lives and they will share how they have gotten through that and all the daily challenges of raising a family, working and just making it through the day. This will be an informal time of sharing and an opportunity to talk about life and faith.
As usual: 10:30am – Food and Friends and 11:00am Worship and Inspiration
The Sunday Gathering meets at The Journey Neighbourhood Centre, 9 Ardglen Drive.

Hey dads! You stuck for something to do for your family this Mother’s Day. Then bring mom and the kids out to The Sunday Gathering for some inspiration and a lunch time BBQ! Mom will be honoured and feted at the event and you will look like a great husband and father!
