Welcome to The Journey Hanley Road Campus’ Weekly Update. This blog is here to keep you in the loop on some of the life that’s taking place at our campus.

Announcements

Daylight Savings Reminder! Don’t forget to set your clocks FORWARD one hour this Saturday night, March 13.

Hanley Road Prayer Meeting: For many of us prayer can be difficult and awkward. Praying in community unites us towards a common end and teaches us how to pray. Join us for our monthly prayer meeting on Sunday, March 21 from 4:30-5:30 PM in the Hanley Road 3rd floor Lounge. It will be a time to personally encounter God, hear his voice, and pray for unity in our church, in our city, and in our world.

Join us at our Passion Week services to remember the week that Jesus was betrayed and died (childcare not offered):
Maundy Thursday – April 1, 7 PM at Hanley Road
Good Friday – April 2, 5:30 & 7 PM at Tower Grove

Hanley Road Easter Services: We will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Sunday, April 4 at our 11:15 AM & 5:30 PM services.

Upcoming Events

THEOLOGY AT THE BOTTLEWORKS: Have a good conversation on important issues with people both inside and outside of Christianity. This month’s topic is “What the “Best Pictures” Say About Us”, discussing this year’s Oscar nominees and their significance in reflecting or making culture. Are we making movies or are movies making us? Join us Wednesday, March 17, 7 PM at Schlafly Bottleworks. More info at www.midrashstl.com.

Midrash Movies: Midrash presents a public screening of the local film, “Game of the Year”. This film was winner of an award at the St Louis Film Festival for a St. Louis-related film of honesty and artistry that portrays the need, or hope, for reconciliation and redemption. This sly mockumentary is funny, quotable and surprisingly deep. Q&A with the director after the film. Luminary Center for the Arts, this Friday, March 19 at 7 PM. Admission is $3 at the door. For more info, visit www.midrashstl.com.

How are the people of God meant to be a part of their city’s restoration? Join Mission: St. Louis at a forum designed to take another look into our neighborhoods, the Bible, and how you fit into the picture. Re[Frame]. Explore the intersection of community, theology, and mission on Saturday, March 27, from 9 AM until noon at The Luminary, 4900 Reber Place. Register at www.missionstl.org.

Community Easter Egg Hunt: On Saturday, April 3 we will be in Tower Grove Park at the Sons of Rest Pavilion from 10 AM till noon. This is a great opportunity to bring your neighbors, family and friends as we reach out to our community. Crawlers through Fifth Grade are invited to a fun morning of egg hunting, crafts, games and the Easter Bunny! This year we plan to stuff over 10,000 eggs. You can donate colorful plastic eggs in the Journey Kids Lobby. Also, we need volunteers before, during and after this event. We need help with children’s activities, outreach, set up/tear down, filling and hiding eggs! If you are interested in helping, please email Jeff Hutchings at jhutchings@journeyon.net.

If you need additional assistance in getting involved at The Journey Hanley Road please contact the Hanley Road Campus Administrator and she will be glad to help. You can reach her by email at infoHR@journeyon.net or by phone at 314.863.8448.
