Spirituality in Action
An important aspect of Journeys Community is our commitment to Spirituality In Action. Being dedicated to causes of peace, justice and the environment, Journeys Community offers its assistance to outside groups whenever possible. Our commitment to Spirituality In Action keeps us involved in community outreach through a variety of programs including:

A member of Journeys Community suffered the loss of her infant grandson. During his brief life, the child and his family were comforted by the gift of a small stuffed animal which emitted the sounds of a mother’s womb. As a result Journeys Community held a fund-raiser to provide 200 “sleep sheep” to the neonatal intensive care units of two local hospitals.
