Journey to The Journey

Dear Journey Church Family and Friends,

As you may have heard, today Ohio Governor Mike DeWine passed an executive order closing all public and private schools from March 16th through April 3rd in response to growing concerns over the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).  We received additional clarification today from Marietta High School administrators that this will also prevent us from using the school building for our weekly church gathering.

Therefore, effective immediately, we will not be holding a Sunday service at the High School before April 5th at the earliest.  With the short notice, we have decided to cancel our service for this Sunday.  We are currently discussing and investigating alternative options for the remaining effected Sundays.  We will continue to provide updates as things develop.

The events surrounding this worldwide pandemic are unlike anything we have ever seen.  While it may be a disappointing development for our Church family, we have been this far blessed to have been spared of the more immediate concerns of infection with the virus, and for that we are thankful.  Please continue to be in prayer for our country and our world as government leaders and healthcare professionals continue to work to find solutions to slowing the spread of this disease.  Pray for healing for those who are sick and comfort for the families of those who have died from COVID-19.

In grace,
The Elders of The Journey Church of Marietta
