Congratulations! You are participating in a multi-congregational, coordinated Campaign that will go down in the history of the General Church. A Campaign is a remarkable opportunity for you, your existing congregation and new people in your area.

	Starting in January 2008 we are once again offering the program we started in the fall of 2007. The JOURNEY Campaign, including daily or weekly emails will run from January 27th through March 16th.
	In the fall of 2006, the first campaign, Rise Above It, took place. Read about the results here.

During the Campaign people are invited to participate in three core aspects of spiritual life—Sunday worship, small group participation and reading—as they work toward reaching their personal goals.

Remember, for a Campaign to be successful it must be a priority for the leaders and members of your congregation. Part of the success of the Campaign is that all conflicting programs are cleared from the calendar, and existing programs are adapted and integrated into the Campaign. As your congregation commits to this program, it is also critical that church leadership and staff be intimately involved in and committed to the Campaign.
