JOURNEY 2 ADULTHOOD
|
Our J2A group is for teenagers who are on a journey of discovery. They are discovering themselves and their faith . Who they are? What they believe? What really matters to them? What is their role in this world? Who and what will guide them?
They confront these questions with a group of peers ,with guidance from non-family adults in the church, who guide and model but do not coerce. They are preparing for a pilgrimage to a place of their choice. The church funds 1/3 of the cost, the parents are expected to pay 1/3 and the teens have to raise 1/3 of the final cost. They have hosted many church events such as car washes and chili cook offs to fund this pilgrimage. For more information and to enroll your child please contact office@christchurchpomfret.org |

J2A PILGRIMAGE
J2A members take part in community service as part of the 2017 Pilgrimage
|
The pilgrimage is a journey away from roots and the familiar into a challenging and unfamiliar setting. Encounters with diverse peoples and cultures are involved, with many expectations of service and social interactions which may push them outside their comfort zone. The opportunities for reflection, sharing, prayer and bonding are scheduled on a daily basis. It is a profoundly moving experience both for the teens and their leaders and creates lasting memories and bonds. We partner with an extraordinary non-profit organization called Wonder Voyage that creates personalized pilgrimages and mission trips. Their voyages encourage an encounter with the heart of God through exploration and sacrificial service to distinctive communities around the globe. Through Wonder Voyage, each event becomes a journey and every participant a pilgrim. Please visit the Wonder Voyage website for more information about this amazing organization. |
