THE JOURNEY CHURCH

With Easter being tomorrow I thought it was a good time to tell you about our church. We have been attending The Journey Church since last April. (click photo on right to go to the Journey website) In June of last year I joined the staff as a member of the media production team on a part time basis. I was brought on the staff to work 1 day a week in the office and all day on Sundays. Leah is a member of the dance team. She is dancing a solo this Easter Sunday to U2's Grace. The Journey started 6 years ago on Easter Sunday in 2002 so we don't have our own building like the older churches in the city. We hold services at The Manhattan Center Studios on 34th St between 8th and 9th avenues in the Grand Ballroom. (click top photo to go to MC studios website) They hold numerous concerts here as well as conferences, dance competitions and even wrestling matches! It is also a recording studio. Since we rent the space we have to setup and strike our equipment every Sunday. I arrive at 6:30am to setup. Then we have services at 10am, 11:30am, and 1pm. Next, I catch a quick lunch with Leah before she goes to work at the restaurant and then I go back to the church for the 6:30pm service and strike. I leave around 8:30pm most nights. Yep, it's a looong day, but a good one. You can listen to podcasts of our services by clicking on the podcast icon to the right. We have a great worship team with backup singers, lead vocals, and an awesome variety of instrumentalists that all rotate Sundays so the sound varies depending on who is singing and playing. Best of all, we have made friends here and our church family makes us feel like we have a home here. If anyone ever wants to come to church with us you have an open invitation. Happy Easter!
