The Soul Ministry is responsible for creating worship at Journey IFC. Their goal is to create meaningful and spirit-filled environments for our faith community. The Soul Train includes these teams: music, audio/visual, set-up, communion, drama, special services and greeters. Team leaders will receive direction from Rick, David and Leslie about each worship service.

Our first priority and joy is to love and know God. We experience God through Prayer, Contemplation, Worship, Silence. We help each other do this in peace and safety. We participate in prayer and worship in traditional and not-so-traditional ways that stretch us and help us to grow. We become better people by knowing God. You are invited into meaningful interactions with God's Spirit. We'll help you do that.

The Communion Team

Journey Imperfect Faith Community's Communion Team consists of approximately 20 men and women who serve Holy Communion on a rotating basis usually on the first Sunday of the month. Most often there are four stations where eight team members serve in pairs. One holds the chalice and the other the bread. Those present at the worship service are invited by one of our pastors to come to a station and partake. A ninth member goes into the classrooms to replace the Sunday School teachers so that they can come to the Lord's Supper. The unleavened whole wheat/honey bread is made by a member; she bakes in it flat rounds with the sign of the cross on each loaf. Sometimes it is very different. For example, on Maundy Thursday the bread was various kinds of crackers and breads which the participants served themselves along with pouring their own juice from one of the many different kinds of pitchers into one of the unique cups on the Communion table. Reflecting life's creative journey, each Communion can be different. With thanks to our Lord, it is always sacred.

The Sound of Journey: The Music and A/V Teams

The Journey music team provides worshippers with the opportunity to connect with God through music. We plan, rehearse, and lead the musical expression portions of worship on Sunday mornings. This team, led by Renee French, includes singers, musicians, and sound system volunteers. Sometimes we are privileged to have guest musicians share their gifts with us during worship service. We are also blessed with a group of talented and dedicated folks who provide audio/visual support for the worship services and other Journey events. They run the sound board for the musicians and speakers, prepare and present slideshows for use both before and during worship, record events for electronic distribution, and play with all kinds of fun, geeky stuff. Journey wouldn't be the same without them!
