the sojourn

The most difficult thing for me these days is to figure out how to speak the truth of Jesus without being brushed off…again…  I feel like I live in an area where once you enter into a conversation about “church,” “god,” or “Jesus” everybody instinctually thinks or believes they’ve already heard everything that a “church” or [...]

We had a great time in our first Rec Paintball game!  We are hoping to do this again in the future, so come joins us!  Check out the slide show of the action!  Next time we should take a video camera!

I have compiled a small collection of some of our videos (click here to see) from Sojourn Newburgh over the last 1 1/2 years.  I am encouraged to see that God has blessed us and continues to work in and through us in our community.  May he continue to bless us, not that we enjoy our [...]

This Spring to Sojourn at Newburgh Plaza on TUESDAY NIGHTS (this has changed from Wed night to Tuesday night) April 14th will be a faith centered recovery program. Till that evening, leaders or anyone else interested in information can visit at 6:30 on Tuesdays. Celebrate Recovery offers opportunities to grow from bad habits, hurts, and struggles through Christ. We will be offering Substance Abuse groups, AA groups, Co-dependancy groups, and grief groups. If there are other things we find or you inform a need for, let us know (or read the full post for more detailed info).

There is a new Friday night group starting!  Friday evening at the Morgan’s house.  They are getting started late Winter and will be looking for more interested.

Keep an "ear to the ground" and/or talk to Billy and Vicki if you have a request/suggestion. They have been, and want to continue to be, open for kids, fun, and food.

Every other Sunday (starting Nov 16th) at 2pm a women’s small group is gathering to study Women of the Bible and how their lives can relate to ours and consider how we can learn from their lives and their faith.  Contact Amy (amyatheart ( at )gmail.com) if you are interested in participating or sharing.
