Welcome! Check out our ideas! Pull it out! & pass it around
There are many journeys we will take in our lives—to school, to the supermarket, on holiday... Have you ever wondered about our whole lives being a journey and what the actual destination is? As Christians, we may find ourselves with differing destinations, or at least differing language for what is the same journey. My point is to think about not getting stuck, not thinking you have arrived, but to consider where you are heading and the journey that is involved. I am reminded of a song I grew up singing ‘The Servant Song,’ and these words in particular: We are pilgrims on a journey We are travellers on the road We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load. (Richard Gillard, 1977) Who are you journeying with? Who is keeping you company? And most importantly, who is journeying with the children and families in your church? Children take journeys every day and with them are their friends, family, teachers, sports coaches, and many others. In this edition of the WAY2GO magazine, we will look at ideas for the journey, and for building relationships while on the journey.
