Clarks Valley Zion EC Church
To grow together in the family of God, seeking Jesus, sharing His love, and changing lives.

     Journey Partners” is the discipleship program instituted last fall here at CVZ. The thirty-five participants agreed to a six month commitment, meeting once a week with their “partner”. Each pair used a “bookmark” which guided them through their weekly meetings. The participants got to know each other through the guided questions and were held accountable from week to week according to their responses.

Scripture was discussed pertaining to the sermon topic. Prayer guidelines encourage intercession on behalf of a partner and others. The six month period ended with a celebration of the experience. The overwhelming response was that this program needs to be expanded and encouraged others to participate. During the next several months some of the participants will be sharing their testimonies to promote the benefits they have experienced. 

     We will be kicking off another campaign in the fall but some of you may be interested in joining during the summer months. If you would like to participate in Journey Partners please see Pastor Mike, Ruth or sign up in the North Narthex at the display. We will be establishing those new “Partners” May 16.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Pastor Mike or Ruth. Information is also available at the display in the North Narthex.



Journey Partners testimonial - Linda Umholtz

      I remember praying about doing Journey Partners, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. God was telling me to, but I was too scared to put my name in the basket. On that Sunday morning when we had to give our answer I feel that God lifted me off my seat and walked with me down the aisle to put my name in. I let Him have complete control and I have been truly blessed.

     The Holy Spirit worked through Pastor Mike and Ruth to put the right partners together. My partner Deb Lutz, has helped me grow in my walk with God. I look forward to being with her every week. We both have so much in common and she truly is a gift from God.

     Journey Partners is for everyone. Cast your fears and worries aside and you will know another blessing from God.
