Community Groups
As the summer fast approaches, Community Groups officially will take a break from meeting weekly (the date of each group's last meeting for the
season will vary). In turn, we encourage everyone to use the summer as a time of rest and rejuvenation with your families and perhaps friendships with
others not in your groups. Some groups may decide to meet periodically for a cookout, baseball game outing or the like, though it is not required.
Groups will officially reconvene in late August.
SojournKids Summer Servants
Sojourn is experiencing a baby boom. With the growing number of kids and travel during the summer months, our need for servants is growing as well.
SojournKids has an immediate need for 7-10 individuals who are willing to serve with children 24 months old and younger. There are spots available at
all three Sunday services. If you can serve weekly or even on an occasional basis, contact Jared Kennedy at jkennedy@sojournchurch.com.
