The Journey is a four-week group experience that is a fun and meaningful introduction to Cedar Ridge and its vision, values and people. It's a time for sharing conversation and food (dinner is provided each week) and joining fellow companions in exploring the spiritual walk together. All are welcome, even long-timers at Cedar Ridge or those who have done Journey in the past. It's current and relevant to what is happening at Cedar Ridge now, so come and focus on growing into God's greatest potential for you! The deadline to register and pick up your materials is August 17. To register or for more info contact Patsy Fratanduono.
The Journey
We believe that each person is a unique and sacred being created in the very image of God.
God is lovingly calling every person into a personal, unique and dynamic relationship. Jesus urged his followers to respond to that call by following him with everything they have. He promised that the pursuit of knowing God and becoming like Jesus is the path to peace and abundant life.
Following Jesus is a journey---it’s a process of learning to love, grow and serve that lasts a lifetime. While at times it’s exhilarating and joy-filled, there are also times when it feels difficult and painful. But if we allow Jesus to lead us and if we persist with a desire to engage with God and others authentically, openly and passionately, this journey becomes life’s greatest adventure---a quest to become real and truly alive, and all that God created us to be.
People at Cedar Ridge come from many backgrounds. Some have been committed Christians for many years and they come from many denominations across the spectrum: from Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic to Mainline Protestant, Evangelical, and Charismatic. Many are here who come from other traditions of faith, and some who are exploring their spirituality for the first time.
The Journey is a focused and fun opportunity to explore our path at Cedar Ridge – how we are seeking to follow Jesus through our unique vision for discipleship: the ways we seek to practice and live out a life together of community, spiritual growth and servanthood. It’s a time for getting to know staff and others at CRCC and to explore our history, vision and values, and an opportunity to discuss aspects of the Christian life and to share our own spiritual journeys with one another.
Journey is typically offered each quarter at Cedar Ridge, groups meeting either all-day Saturday or for 2 hours for four consecutive weeknights. Journey is an important step in considering commitment to the Cedar Ridge community through membership.
