JOURNEY TOGETHER
GROUPS
Journey Together groups are designed to assist you as you journey with God, no matter where you are on your journey. Our journeys together may simply provide time to enjoy an activity together, take us deeper in understanding and applying the Bible to our lives, or they may allow time to reveal God’s loving character with each other. But the focus of our journey is on building interpersonal relationships through love, support, friendship, connection, and growing closer to God.

Blood Drives
Quarterly bloodmobile in the parking lot
​
Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. Bloodworks Northwest provides blood to more than 90 hospitals in our area. Blood is needed for accident victims, those having major surgery, some diseases require blood or component parts as well as many with cancer. Not only do you help someone else thus increasing your own happiness levels but recent research reveals that you lower your own risk of heart disease and heart attack and it can help keep your liver healthy. Do yourself a good deed!
Celebrate Recovery
Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at North Cascade SDA Church
Celebrate Recovery is an amazing faith-based support group. No matter what your situation there is good news: regardless of whether your problem is emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, or sexual - God wants to help you! It is for anybody who has a hurt, habit, or hangup.
Celebrate Recovery is based on the Beatitudes and the goal is not simply to recover from past sins and hurts but to become more Christlike. Anonymity and confidentiality is strictly enforced.

Holiday Baskets Ministry
Yearly project in November and December

We prepare food baskets for those needing a little help during the holidays. There are many ways to help with this ministry: moving furniture at the youth house, setting up food tables, moving boxes of stored food to the youth house, sorting and organizing the food, purchasing and sorting perishable food, and filling boxes with food for a family. Food and money donations are also greatly appreciated. Much of the work is done on Sundays and weekday evenings during November and December. Shopping for perishables is done on Thursday and Friday before food boxes are delivered on Saturday. Even an hour or two or your help is greatly appreciated.
