Have you hatched your eggs? Or, gotten your goat? New Journey’s Spring 2024 donor choice projects are underway! There are many useful items of impact that you can contribute to ELCA Good Gifts and/or Casa de la Misericordia y de Todas las Naciones asylum shelter by Sunday, May 5. Place your envelopes in the collection plate or contribute to New Journey on-line, clearly designating the project and item(s) of your choice. Thank you.

Thank you to New Journey members and friends who participated in the April 7 “Fifth Sunday” letter-writing. While our numbers were small, every voice of faith in the public square makes a difference in support of the omnibus hunger provisions of the U.S. Farm Bill and the funding of free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch for Arizona students.

Northeast Valley Consortium (NEVC), in conjunction with the Grand Canyon Synod, and California Lutheran University, presented a timely and pertinent presentation, “Loneliness: How to live and serve faithfully to those within our community.”

Join Rev. Dr. Colleen Windham-Hughes, Associate Vice President for Mission and Identity, California Lutheran University and NEVC for the 3rd Annual Christian education seminar as we delve into ways to serve those experiencing loneliness. Christianity offers unique perspectives on the challenge of loneliness, emphasizing the importance of community connection and the cultivation of solitude with God.
