Click here for a schedule of Go Journeys
Pick one or more of the over 15 Go Journeys described below. You will be glad you did. You can play with orphaned children, hammer & paint, prepare breakfast for an inner city pastor, eat lunch with previously homeless women, help a little girl with homework, hear what God is doing among forgotten peoples, and so much more.
But be careful. People who have done this in the past report that it can be a life changing experience. Sometimes they discovered more of their own need for God. Sometimes they discover more of God’s love than they were able to share.
What will you discover? RSVP today for one of the Go Journeys described below.
Giving and Going with you,
Rev. Jim Milley

Two-thirds of Altadena's 4,000+ public school students come from Hispanic and African-American households. The academic achievement gap between these children - our nation's emerging demographic majority - and the middle-class is outrageous and getting worse every year.
Our Altadena neighbors are now poised to become the first community in the nation to close its academic achievement gaps in all 6-8 schools through a new school district we want to staff with the great rare educators who by their experience can be trusted to close our community's enormous achievement gap. Take your Go Journey beyond mercy by joining our justice pursuit to tell our Altadena neighbors about the 100 best practices and to collect signatures for the district's feasibility study. http://www.altadenaschools.net
