SMALL GROUPS CANCELED

In light of the current Fire Emergencies around our county. WE ARE CANCELING small groups for Wednesday night, October 24, 2007.

If you have needs yourself or as a family, please notify the office and we'll do our best to help your needs or e-mail me: brian at journeycom.org and I'll do what I can.

Next week is still currently our 80's party as planned and our small groups will resume as normal on November 7 unless otherwise noted.

You're in our prayers.

HELP NEEDED ON HALLOWEEN

This October 31st from 6-9pm. Journey's high school ministry is in charge of watching two jump houses during the Fall Festival at Journey. Normally we uses students to do this. Problem is, this year we're trying to reach out to our non-christian high school students and providing an outreach for them. So, we need some parental help in the gaps.

Can you man a jumpy house for an hour for us so our students can reach their friends instead of watch over the jump houses? If so, please contact Aundrea in the office by dialing 619.464.4544 and asking for her and signing up. Thanks!!!

Oh.. and here's some details for your students if the want come to our 80's night. Just give the flyer below a click and it will be readable and have all the info you need.

thanks for your prayers and helping hands.

HELP, MY KIDS ARE ONLINE- ALL THE TIME

Two articles of note came up today and as I head home after youth group, I thought I'd take 5 minutes a just point you to them before I forget.

1. Josh Treece, our middle school pastor, had heard a lot of feedback from parents about what to do to help protect your teen online. He found a helpful article and posted it here. You should check it out.
   


2. Then tonight I noticed this article on myspace by Josh Griffin. Here's an excerpt:
   

   The simple fact is that, like it or not, your students are online. They are going to be gathering where their friends are. They will log into MySpace, Facebook or AOL (and whatever’s next) before most of you have had your morning coffee. With that in mind, how can you help students navigate the world of online social networking?
